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.

I have had him before for my knee and was used to him. He is very good and knows his stuff yet he always talks very fast and sometimes its hard to take it all in. maybe slow down a little and explain things a little better so i understand. Everything else was great.

Biggest Mistake Ever
If I could put 0 I would . You have to leave at least 1 star to post. Make sure you do your homework. Dr Kinkead and his band of merry misfits have ruined my knee and chances of it ever being ok again. A lateral meniscus repair turned into a nightmare at the surgical outpatient office in Sandwich. Run, do not walk, from this practitioner. When your Dr. does not even know the brand name for gabapentin ..Houston we have a problem.

Horrible surgery and post op care
Dr Kinkead has destroyed my wife’s life. After her meniscus tear surgery she has third degree burns UNDERNEATH her skin. He didn’t suture her incision correctly and fluids leaked into her tissue. He said it was because she was thin! He couldn’t be bothered to even see her knee until over a month after surgery. The physical therapist who unwrapped her bandages three days after surgery almost fainted and wanted to call an ambulance when he saw her knee. It was swollen, blistered and hot to the touch. When we called up the doctor to see if we could be seen, we got to see hi PA who basically said oh well, put aloe on it!There is a lot more to this story. Absolutely horrible surgeon and post op care. Stay tuned; more to come!

Follow up on meniscus surgery
Dr. Kinkead is a compassionate surgeon. He took time to go over all the issues I had after surgery and gave me an in-depth explanation of all that I had happening with my knee. He was able to give me the answers I needed in understanding what was experiencing. He told me what I needed to do to make my knee more stable. I feel very confident in having him as my surgeon and would definitely use him for any other knee related surgeries in the future.

Highly recommend 5 out of 5
Dr Kinkead was very informative and explained everything about my knee surgery in layman’s terms. This was my first surgery and he and his surgical staff made it a wonderful experience for me from start to finish. My surgical site was minimal and I could not have expected a better outcome. I highly recommend this professional and talented surgeon.

Skill and experience
Dr Kinkead put a comprehensive plan in place on my first visit. When surgery became necessary he clearly and confidently explained all aspects of the procedure. He made me comfortable with the process pre operation and his skilled and experienced hands relieved me of my pain and gave me my life back. You can not do better than Dr Kinkead.
