Dr. Joseph P Kincaid, MD

Great Dr. family has used him for years!

Dr. Kincaid was my pediatrician as well as my sons who is now 15. I have always had the best service from him and his staff especially Gayle. When I had to take my son to ER as it was after hours and he was lethargic from high fever. ER did nothing sent us home. Immediately went to Dr. Kincaid in Am where my son was properly cared for and he even called the hospital to complain about the lack of admittance for a child in such a state. I was very sad to hear he was retiring as my son was always very comfortable with him and his staff.

Dr Kincaid has taken care of all 3 of my kids. He always listened to me as a mom and took appropriate care of my kids- for over 20 years. We are loyal patients and I’m thankful for the care he provided.

Dr. Kincaid is no longer a practicing Pediatrician.

I am disgusted at the discrimination shown by this particular doctors office. We just moved to Spokane from Seattle, so I needed to find a new pediatrician for my 6 year old daughter. I was told that they were accepting new patients, accepting new patients with my daughters particular insurance even. But as soon as I mentioned my daughter had ADHD, everything changed. "Nope, we aren't taking any new patients with "behavioral issues" " Really? My daughter can't help that she has ADHD anymore than my older daughter has control over having asthma. I'm not sure if it's illegal to discriminate based on an illness, but it's definitely immoral. She's a kid with a sickness that needs to see a doctor to be able to continue with her meds, for her own good, as well as for the sake of her teacher and her entire class at school. Shame on you!!!

Our son had a terrible headache and was vomiting. The vomiting slowed down and then stopped. After calling Grand Pediatrics I was told to keep an eye on it and if we want an appointment we can come in the next day. We saw Kimberly Resleff. She diagnosed him with a ruptured eardrum. It was his right ear, however, she noted the left in his chart. He had a massive headache and sore neck that ice or Tylenol would not help. Kimberly told us that, â??the good news is itâ??s not meningitis--if it were he would be not only be yelling in pain, but not be able to move his head and neck as wellâ??. She never addressed his head or the vomiting that I called about the day before. She prescribed our son an antibiotic for his ear. The next day, I called again. His headache was so massive and debilitating that he wasnâ??t moving around and light and sound were bothering him. Our son has a history of ear infections, but never with these symptoms or side effects before. The nurse said… it was just the ear infection and it would take time for the antibiotic to work. The next day I called again. Our sonâ??s headache was still so strong. I told the nurse that I know we have to wait for the antibiotic to work, but I can only go by what he is telling me and he is telling me that this ear infection is different. Sound and light were bothering him and he was not moving around. He was nauseas and had double and blurry vision. I asked to see Dr. Kincaid, specifically, but he was not available again, so we saw Kaitlin (Kardong) Mallon. Kaitlin started off by reiterating to me what Kimberly Resleff said, that, if youâ??re suspecting meningitis, itâ??s not. Meningitis had not even occurred to us, it was they who brought it up. She stated that our son can tip his head forward so itâ??s not serious. When I asked about his vision and nausea Kaitlin said it was his equilibrium affected by the ear infection. She then asked him where it hurt and he pointed to the back and sides of his neck and his whole head. He said, â??and here, tooâ??, pointing to the front of his neck. At that, Kaitlin nodded at me, waving her hand and said since it is bothering him in the front of his neck, it is his sinuses in his throat and to give him Dimetapp. Finally, she felt his throat and did not look at or into his eyes at all. We continued to watch through Friday and there was no improvement. On Saturday our sonâ??s eyes crossed and he was still seeing double with blurry vision, nausea, and the massive headache. On Monday morning, I called the Spokane Eye Clinic and reported his symptoms. Their triage team got him in that day and we saw Dr. Colburn. He found swelling behind his eyes and on the veins to his eyes and sent us to the ER at Sacred Heart. Thank God we took him somewhere else and they listened to us, because our son could have experienced so much more physical damage, or worse, if we had continued to trust Grand Pediatrics. The doctors found a mastoid sinusitis behind his right ear and a blood clot on his brain. All of this explained the massive headaches, neck pain, vomiting, nausea, double and blurry vision, and crossed eyes. Our son wore an eye patch, alternating both eyes each day, he had a pic line inserted, surgery to put a tube in his right ear by ENT Dr. Pokorny, a string of antibiotics, and blood thinning shots twice a day. I called Grand Pediatrics and spoke to nurse Rhonda, who identified herself as Dr. Kincaidâ??s nurse, and let her know that we recently found out that our family has a history of Factor V Leiden. I did not know if it was pertinent, but wanted to let them know because the doctors in the hospital were looking for any family history that could be of help in our sonâ??s care. She said they were â??keeping a close eyeâ?? on his file and she would tell Dr. Kincaid personally, and also write it in his file. However, on our follow-up visit with Grand Pediatrics, Dr. Kincaid had no idea what I was talking about and said it is not mentioned in the file. Our son had three nearly week long hospital stays with several visits to the ER. The first, of course, was due to the original diagnosis. The others, due to fever and headache with chest pain and difficulty breathing. We went to the ER and another MRI was done. The results showed that there was still fluid in the mastoid behind his ear, but that it had reduced in size, as did the clot. When he was released from the ER, we had instructions to follow up with our primary care physician in 1-2 days. We called Grand Pediatrics and had an appointment with Kimberly Resleff. Again, Dr. Kincaid was not available. Since the test results included the progress of the mastoid, we also called Dr. Pokorny at the ENT office to inform them. At the appointment we told Kimberly that now our son had chest pain around his heart with a widespread rash, and it began with his last dose of Meropenem infusion. It had increased significantly by the time my husband and son reached Grand Pediatrics office. He was dizzy, nauseas, and had no appetite. We were concerned that it could be a reaction to the Meropenem, because with the previous dose he felt the infusion going through his arm and chest and it was hurting. No temperature was taken at the office. They waited for an hour at their office while Kimberly contacted Dr. Pokorny about what the MRI said and whether or not a rash was a symptom of the mastoid infection. It was not. Kimberly then diagnosed a viral infection with a prescription for a topical cream. She told my husband that â??we just canâ??t protect our kids from everythingâ??. They came home and when they started the next infusion, the same symptoms of rash and pain occurred. We called Grand Pediatrics and were hung up on by a nurse. We will give her the benefit of the doubt and say they were disconn

I am really disappointed with this practice. My sister in law raved about it because it is who my nephew sees but I am not of the same opinion. I have been in four or five times now with our baby and have never felt good leaving, especialy after visits where there has been a problem and it wasn't just a well child visit. The dissapointment starts as soon as you walk in the door with the front desk staff who act like they are irritated you walked in the door and they have to do their job, usually very unprofessional and rude. Then there is the nurses who ask you what is going on or how things are going but don't take time of day to listen or cut you off. We have seen three or four different nurse practitioners but never the doctor and the np's are ok but when I bring my baby in with a problem as a new mom especially, I would like to see the doctor. The info from the np's is always confusing and they are bad at explaining things and often make you feel stupid for asking questions or… not knowing the answers. I was in yjis last week because my 9 month old had cold and running a fever so I called and the nurse wanted us to come in, fine, no problem. But then made me feel stupid for coming in and not having all the answers. Np saw abmormality in ear but never explained herself and left me totally confused, sent me out the door with a prescription for antibiotics that I could give if I felt like baby needed them Hello!!!you are the health professional, how do I know if he needs them or not??? I can't see in his ear!!! And i have never gotten a report card or visit summary which all of my docs and myvsons previous dr have always given. say the least I/we will not be going back, they have had enoigh chances, I am done.

My child was Mis diagnosed four times before being admitted into the hospital(total of 7 days), my child had pneumonia and her symptoms was extreme and dr Kincaid was negligent along with a few nurses . Never did they feel the need to send us to the hospital for extra testing until we actually got admitted and drained 300ml of my child's lung. They did not listen or care genuinely about my child's health . Would never recommend this office to anyone.

Very difficult to get an appointment but always well worth the wait. He was my doctor when I was a child and I hope that when I have children he will be their doctor.

Messed up our son's circumcision. Had to go to the ER to get the bleeding to stop and spent three hours there. Called them that night leaving a voicemail asking for their next appointment to take a look at what the ER doctor did (since that is what he told us to do), and they never called back. So I called them again and got in. The doctor seemed irritated and gave us conflicting information and finally said that our boy will pee off the bandage in 24 hours and to call if he did not (also what the ER doctor said). So 24 hours later, bandage is still attached that stopped the bleeding, so we called and they were rude and told us to stop worrying, also came from a nurse because the doctor would not talk on the phone. Another day goes by and the bandage is still on so we go back in. The doctor was completely rude and condescending. Seemed irritated with our baby and did not handle him well, and still shrugged everything off. Also made a comment about this being the worst circumcision… (that they botched). So we are not going back.In summary, botched the circumcision, was rude about the situation, kept giving conflicting information, treated us like we were dumb, and basically ended up doing nothing.
