Dr. K is the best doctor I've ever been to. He explains what is wrong in a way that is easy to understand and took an approach to treatment of my neck that none of the several doctors I saw prior to seeing him suggested. A week later the pain was gone and has stayed away since.

I have been seeing Dr. Kinderknecht for a few years. He has wonderful bedside manner, he is both nonjudgemental and a great diagnostician. What has also influenced my evaluation, is that he really listens, does not jump to his own conclusions and takes my symptoms very seriously.

Dr. Kinderknecht epitomizes what you would want in a physician. Not merely extremely competent, he is thoughtful, thorough and kind.

I have no idea about this doctor. The appointment booker who answers the phone was so rude that I made an appointment elsewhere. Unacceptable behavior and judging by other reviews the office personnel specializes in rude behavior. Too bad - he might be a good doctor.

He is kind, knowledgeable, and accessible. He is one of the best doctors that I've ever gone to. His staff is professional and on top of it. I give him the highest rating possible.

The cockroaches spotted in the waiting room should have been a sign. The entire appointment was an utter waste of time. Not only did he misdiagnose me and fail to offer any care, but he was condescending and unsympathetic to my pain and concerns. He evn gave inaccurate medical information to his fellow, and when I politely corrected him, he abruptly ended my appointment. Terrible bedside manner, and a small, uncomfortable waiting area. As it turns out, my injuries do warrant surgery. Thankfully the new provider I'm seeing is helping me avoid it with PT and other non invasive options, which Dr. K failed to offer.

Dr. Kinderknecht is one of the best doctors I've ever gone to. His bedside manners are impeccable and when you send him an email he responds to you which most doctors do not do. I went to him for a second opinion and he was quick to get back to me after an MRI that my primary surgeon ordered to let me know what the results were. I still did not hear back from my doctor but I've heard from Dr. Kinderknecht. Unfortunately, Dr. Kinderknecht is not a surgeon because I would switch in a heartbeat to him to take over my case.
