Dr. Kristin Leigh Hinkle, MD

Should not be working in the medical profession. Horrible person with a deplorable attitude!!!

I met Dr Hinkle in an exercise class and mentioned my difficulty in obtaining an appointment with my regular physician. She was kind enough to follow up and fit me into her schedule at the same clinic, enabling me to keep my annual appointment. Her kindness is much appreciated.

I have seen Dr. Hinkle in a family practice setting as well as in urgent care. She is highly competent, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very empathetic. Her bedside manner is excellent. She explains everything to me in a way that I can understand. I really appreciate Dr. Hinkle and the care she provides to patients like me.

I wouldn't even bring my own dog to see her! Rude, unprofessional, condescending, and disrespectful to patients and staff. Needs to get off her high horse and quit acting like she is so superior!

I worked with Dr. Hinkle one time at an urgent care clinic - and that WAS my only time. The clinic overall had staff that were rude and unprofessional - but Dr Hinkle took the cake!! She is down right rude and condescending to patients and should NOT be practicing medicine. She also treats her staff members like they were complete trash!!! Oh, and somebody should educate her on the importance of dress codes - I have NEVER seen a physician who comes to work wearing tight dresses and 10-inch spike heels -- like, she's supposed to be a doctor - NOT a street walker!!!! Poor excuse for a physician AND a human being - she should NOT be working with people!!!

Dr.K. Hinkle was my Primary Physician for several years until 2015 when she left the office on 4 Str. N / St. Petersburg. She was just amazing! The Office she run- the same! I was so lucky to have her as my doctor- very professional and extremely concerned. Let me tell you a story that probably you won't ever hear. First time when I saw Dr. Hinkle I told her that I had a thyroid disorder with nodules. I was diagnosed with it after Chernobyl disaster (I am European, came to USA years later). She took a look and said that it looks OK- just like she was not very concerned. I already got used to my previous doctors in FL that were not concerned, either, so I just left the office like any other time. In the next morning or so I received a phone call from Dr. Hinkle's office that Dr. Hinkle insisted on seeing me by all means. The girl that was at the front desk stated, ' Dr. Hinkle researched about Chernobyl last night and she is very concerned and wants you to have this nodules checked at… St. Anthony's....'...and so on, so on....So, what kind of person can leave the office, go back home, thinks about the patient and does this kind of research?! Of course - THE ONLY ONE THAT CARES!!! To these patients that wrote that she was arrogant I'll say- please do not mix her timely manner with arrogance, remember how happy you must have been with your appointments on time!!!

Dr. Hinkle had me in and out of her office in an efficient amount of time; but still also made me feel like she really took the effort to understand my issue. I will go back to her for sure.

Does she know that being in the medical field means you should act like you want to help people. She is rude and arrogant. terrible bedside manner. Should have listened to all the reviews

Overall the best Dr. I have had!

In the year that I was a patient I only saw Dr. Hinkle once - I always saw Eve her PA. Eve was so concerned with my triglyceride #s (which were not important at all) that she completely overlooked the fact that I have an Autoimmune disease of the Liver which once I left this office and went to a REAL doctor that was discovered within a couple of visits and accurate reading of my lab work. I suffered for a year with Dr. Hinke's office
