I have been coming to see him for over 10 years. He is the best! Love his honesty, humor, and bedside manner.
This OB-GYN is amazing! He is very kind and professional and wants what is best for his patients.
One of the few doctors I have ever been comfortable with. Was very kind and laid back, but the office was quick moving as well. Very easy labor with my son. Just a wonderful experience all around.
This was my first visit with Dr. Kinder is an amazing doctor, answered all my concerns and worries. I feel like I finally found a doctor that will listen to me.
Dr. Kinder was not my OB-GYN at the time for my first pregnancy, but was called in during my first natural childbirth experience. I was 17 at the time and my current OB-GYN hands were putting me in excruciating pain during labor. They called Dr. Kinder in who instantly started to verbally calm me down. He made a hard delivery seem effortless. I vowed to have my second born delivered by Dr. Kinder. My second all natural birth went smoothly. I'll rave about Dr. Kinder all the days of my life. He knows my children names even 16 years after the birth of my first born. He is always excited to hear about the accomplishments of what my children have achieved. He is proud to say that his hand delivered such wonderful teenagers. I agree totally agree greatness starts at birth, and he help my husband and I birth amazing humans.
