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.

Bad experience, very expensive
I had a quick consultation with Dr. Kinzinger. After examining me in a way that felt weird and unprofessional, (no paper gown) he wanted to do a "risky" (his word) partial colonoscopy as soon as possible. Once I got a second opinion I decided against it, and Kinzinger charged my insurance a total of 674.00 for the consultation. Office visit 302.00 and (Surgery?) 372.00. Again this was a 30 minute consultation in April of 2022. (I did not have a surgery). I am healthy and so happy I did not follow his advice to endure another colonoscopy!

Dr. Kinsinger performed a colectomy on me using the laproscopic surgery to remove my ascending colon. I was apprised of all the things to be done in advance. He answered all of my questions in advance of the procedure and I felt I was in very good hands with the assembled crew who did the procedure. The nursing staff was very professional at Saint Judes Hospital. in Fullerton, Ca. After two weeks, I am pretty much "back to normal" and recovering nicely. I highly recommend Dr Kinsinger.

Dr Kinzinger was professional, direct, knowledgeable, caring, and very professional. We went for one week with no one being able to help us, direct us, or even willing to talk to us. We got in with the Dr within one week and he knew exactly what was going on and explained all options available and the first one which was not surgery worked. Omg anyone who has issues that no one else knows anything about or need second opinion needs to see this specialist PA/Staff are also friendly/caring/Pros!

I have had procedures done by Dr. Kinzinger several times over the past few years. His work is excellent, his manner when dealing with the patient is great, he explains the procedure, why it is needed, and what will take place.

Dr. Kinzinger was recommended by my primary doctor within St. Jude health system--I met w/him twice before deciding on bi-lateral inguinal hernia surgery. Just prior to this, a friend of mine had same procedure with another St. Jude surgeon---his had to be re-done shortly after surgery. Dr. Kinzinger did an excellent job on my surgery--although he is right to the point, and may appear to be somewhat short during interview process, he is excellent surgeon and did great job.

Dr. Kinzinger saved my wife's life. A multitude of other doctors requested X rays, endoscopies, colonoscopies and other procedures but failed to correctly diagnose her colon blockage that was causing a medical emergency. Upon advice of an expert anthesiologist, I requested the services of Dr, Kinzinger. He ordered an x-ray, reviewed it and recommended immediate surgery that evening to resection the colon. In short, he saved by wife's life when other's could not diagnose the problem.
