Horrible Dr. Waited 3 hrs to see him for symptoms that are clearly neurological. Was referred by my other neurologist who was looking for a second opinion. He kept talking about my anxiety & stated my syptoms, which are quite serious are all "anxiety" related. Spoke to me in a very condisending Manor. Kept getting text messages & responding to them. Wouldn't let me finish a sentence, kept cutting me off. All he focused on was anxiety & depression, which I've never had. On my paperwork he listed I was referred to him because of " fatigue due to depression." 20 minutes of meeting me & he said my test will be normal & he was gonna convince me all my symptoms are due to anxiety. Complete waste of time. Self centered, does not listen and very rude. Over 9 months waiting for appointment,over 3 hrs waiting to see him all for him to make me feel worse!

I have been seeing Dr. Kinkel for about 3 years now, he has the worst bedside manor of any doctor I have ever seen. It seems that all he wants to do is use me as a hamster for his barrage of test. He spends almost no time with you and lets his resident do all the work. He has also suggested that I should pay out of pocket rather than use my insurance, as if the results would change. Patient beware!

A friend of mine sees him and recommended him so I made my appointment to see him concerning my symptoms, MRI's, and test results for MS. He has his shadow doctor in there taking all the information and once the hour passed with her testing me and all the normal stuff, she got him. He literally spent 15 minutes talking to me and never addressed anything. Too busy trying to make jokes and cutting me off and tried to brush me off back to my PCM. I am not impressed and he didn't even talk to me.

I was apprehensive about meeting Dr. Kinkel due to some negative reviews posted online about him. But after my 1st visit with him, I can say confidently that I did not have a bad experience at all. To the contrary, Dr. Kinkel and the entire staff, including his assistant and medical student in training, treated me with the utmost respect, courteousness and professionalism. Dr. Kinkel took his time listening to me explain my medical issues and he spoke in a very kind manner. I was truly happy!

Dr Kinkle snatched my case post DX in grossmont hospital. Since then he’s only been interested in trying DMTs that come from companies, that employ him for selling their meds. And everyone he tried me on, almost killed me. 2 years later I’m still suffering side effects from the last one! Onichoptosis from hades! Lost all 10 nails, have major secondary infections, and had skin sloughing at the injection site! He tried to convince me that these side effects weren’t from the medication,

Although his credentials are good, Dr. Kinkel has terrible manners when meeting with his patients. He often checks his emails and text messages right in the middle of an exam. He doesn't have much empathy and tries to joke off serious, debilitating symptoms stating, that's life.
