Dr. Kinder is an exceptional Doctor. My husband has been going to him for about 9 years. I highly recommend him.

It is never fun to have a kidney stone and I think a lot of times patients may tend to take it out on the Doctor. Dr Kinder was very upfront and helpful in explaining my situation and then handling it for me. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Worst experience we have ever had with a Doctor. My husband was suffering with his first kidney stone. Dr. Kinder couldn't find the stone on the x-ray so he sent him home told him to come back in 2 days. When he went back Dr. Kinder still didn't do anything for him would not do a another x-ray and sent him home for 2 weeks.

Had a kidney stone, took two days to get appointment, then two more days to get procedure, didn't explain what he was doing, what could be expected, had a stent put in, didn't explain restrictions or return to work. Staff is rude, short and all aparently hate their jobs.
