Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Kinder changed my life when he placed a pacemaker/defibrillator in my chest 4 months after having a stroke, then cardioverted and ablation my heart into a normal sinus rhythm. He explains things simply and always makes time for questions and he knows you game complete understanding about what is happening with your heart. Highly reccomend.

find a different doctor.
He is the most arrogant person I have ever been around. Do yourself a favor and go find a different provider who is actually professional.

Arrogant and Demeaning
Dr Kinders whole attitude changes the second you dare ask a question and try to be a part of your own healthcare plan. He yelled at my parents with the door open to intimidate and embarrass them. Went on and on about all his surgeries, patients and boasted how big of a deal he is.In my 40 years I’ve never seen such unprofessional behavior from a doctor. My dad is 82 and simply was asking questions regarding a very scary diagnosis so he can be a part of his own recovery and understand what’s going on inside his body.

Dr. Kinder #1 in my book
He has been my doctor now for several years and he is the most knowledgeable and explains everything to where you understand him. He takes the time to find out exactly what is going on and determines the best path forward. I would recommend him to anyone needing his speciality.

Dr. Kinder is incredibly intelligent and has an excellent bedside manner. He has inserted both a monitor near her heart and soon a pacemaker for my mom. He took so much time explaining what would happen during the pacemaker procedure and answered all of her questions since she has several risk factors. I’d highly recommend him.

Outstanding cardiologist. Help me understand my risk inherited factors and very systematically baseline cardiac function. He also help me understand how behavioral changes like diet, exercise, and sleep can positively impact heart rythm and function. I made in a step change in my health with his care and expertise. Highly recommend.

I met with Dr. Kinder for today (1-16-18). I was very pleased with the visit as the doctor answered all my questions and explained everything that was being done. He made recommendations and advised me what plan I should follow to obtain optimum health. I like that Doctor Kinder actually listened to my concerns and addressed them in a manner that I could understand.

Dr. Kinder is very competent and has an excellent bedside manner. I did not have an office appointment with him. I was taken directly to the Cath Lab from the Emergency Department with an abnormal cardiac rhythm.
