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.

Highly recommend Dr. Kindred
My primary care physician first recommended him 8 years ago. Dr. Kindred's helped me with several concerns and we've recommended him to others. Everyone's pleased at the time he takes, his eye contact, listening skills, and gentle kindness. No one ever feels rushed. You may have had drs.' offices who book 6 - 8 people in an hour, and have the dr. come in so they can sign off on what the nurses and techs pre-screened. This is not that type of office. I was sent to that type of office for a workplace injury. Eventually it healed, but it was not from quality care.

Poor Outcome
His bedside manner was good but my 'simple' trigger finger surgery was not. 2 years later I still have a lump where he went into my palm and it took over a year before I had full, unpainful motion in the finger. I was advised by a family member to go to a hand specialist and should have taken that advice!!

I had a hip replacement about one year ago. I am very appreciative of Dr. Kindred, his staff and my recovery. Based on my experience, I would have no hesitation recommending Dr. Kindred.

Dr Kindred did a Conformis knee replacement on me 9 months ago. It’s great being able to walk as much as I want and not be in pain. Other than some mild post operative swelling my knee is doing great. I am so happy I had a knee replacement done. He also did a hip replacement on me 16 years ago. It is still doing great also. Dr Kindred gets an A Plus from me. His attention and care for me at the patient level has been great. I have gotten multiple cortisone shots up to knee replacement and those have always been pretty much pain free. They have that down to a science and it never bothers me getting one. I have never ever had one bad experience at his office. I would recommend him highly!!!

I broke my clavical on a Saturday and called Monday to see if I could get an appointment. He got me.in that day and had surgery the following day on Tuesday. Dr. Kindred and his team did a phenomenal job. It's two weeks later and I'm back to normal. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kindred.

My self, and other family have been patients of Dr. Kindred's since 1998. I personally have had wonderful care from him and his staff. He's did my son's ACL survery in 2014. He was back to sports in no time. My sister had a knee surgery in '98 and has been great since then. We have been very pleased with how thorough and caring he and his office are. Its a drive but, also seeing him at the Research Medical Brookside location. When you find a good doctor, you'll go where they are.
