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.

He was very helpful and thoughtful.

Absolute BEST Dr I've ever had. He REALLY LISTENS!
I saw Dr Kinder for 2 years & I always knew he listened to & understood me. He was open & really caring about me (patient) as a whole. Not just the pocketbook area. Unlike most pain management specialists he listened & was easy to talk too. He explained everything in simple speak. Not one single time did I feel unheard, judged or disrespected. He answered even my dumbest questions!! Did I mention that he listens??!!? Dr Kinder is the bestest!!

Hotshot doctor that really doesn't care about a patient. My experience with him was a nightmare from the very first visit. I wouldnt recommend him especially if you have Apple Health. Be ready to pay out of pocket if your medication needs prior authorization. His workers don't recognize Apple Health as Medicaid. Plus in my opinion he needs to be more objective with his patients and not let his emotions override his expertise.

If I possessed the total comprehension of the knowledge from the pages of the Oxford Dictionary, the words would fail to describe the greatness of Dr. Russell Kinder! In humility, I can only express my deepest gratitude towards a physician and gentleman, who not only knows medicine, but equally mirrors human compassion with dignity, integrity and honor. Dr. Kinder should be a poster representative of how doctors conduct themselves professionally. I am most fortunate to have a man of this caliber treating me. He deserves to be the White House Physician or leading medical professor at Harvard University.

Best pain management doctor ever! Have a number of issues with my back (osteoarthritis, partial sacralization) and had suffered from unbearable spasms. In February 2019 Dr. Kinder performed radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on the affected areas which completely stopped the pain, making me one of the fortunate folks who, along with a caring and proficient doctor, achieved excellent results. Different people have different success rates and differing periods of relief. When the first twinges of spasms began again nearly a year later, Dr. Kinder performed a second RFA with the same miraculous results: now 100% pain free. For me, he is a miracle worker.

Demonstrated real concern for my well-being and actually cared about the pain that I was in. And what he was unable to do he was able to refer me out to physician that could take care of me in the way I needed to be cared for. Three words to describe dr. Kinder, my personal hero ! thank you Doctor kinder

I felt at ease with Dr Kinder on my first visit. We not only talked about pain medications he also talked about alternatives to pain management. He included my family in on the conversation. Explanations were easily understood by my 10 year old Granddaughter My visit ended with some hope that there is a way to manage my chronic pain not my pain dictating to me. I am confident there is something can and will help me live a much more full life.
