She performed a microdiscectomy in which I didn't have many issues. When my numbness and pain hadn't resolved completely, she sent me for a follow-up MRI with and without contrast on my lumbar spine. The radiologist reading it noted a demyelinating lesion that needed further imaging. I asked her about it, and her response to me was, 'it was not surgical, I'm not worried about it.' I mistakenly took her at her word. Two years later I discovered that the lesion she wasn't worried about was MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS! I had gone over t... read more
The doctor was very attentive to me, my problem and my concerns of possible long term issues. She worked with my not without me to come to a resolve.
A 20 out of 10! She and her entire team were AMAZING! From being on time, to returning calls, to helping with insurance, to answering my thousands of questions - all before surgery. I had a lower lumbar fusion (ALIF) and felt relief so quickly. 9 months out and 100% relief, and my belly incision is also completely healed. Was back to work (at a desk) 6 weeks afterward. Post op was just as great with her and her staff. Don’t go anywhere else!!!
I am late 50’s and suffered with low back/leg pain for years. I met with Dr. Kinchen as a 2nd opinion after another doctor recommended surgery. I was nervous and reluctant about having surgery until I met with her. She explained everything and I felt confident in her ability and the expected outcome. My surgery was in June and was 100% successful and I could not be happier. I can walk unlimited and stand straight without pain. As important as her ability is her great bedside manner. She takes the time with her patients and c... read more
Do not let this doctor operate on you! She did a three-level fusion on me in late 2019. Screws were too long! She did another fusion and it made things even worse than before. Incision would not heal, so surgery #3 in less than 4 months. Went to new doctor in Dallas who re-did everything she did and when I asked him what he thought, he said, "it was either done wrong, and/or the fusion did not hold". I asked him if it was something I did after surgery and he said, "absolutely not". DO NOT LET THIS DOCTOR NEAR YOU!
Terrible Failed 4 level fusion Screws falling out, end plate fracture Extreme pain, muscle damage to left leg, thighs numbness both sides To those who say she hasn’t been sued, trying suing a doctor in Texas, next to impossible She moves from hospital system to hospital system and state to state Don’t let academic qualifications fool you She is incompetent and uncaring Btw she owns the neuro monitoring company she uses during surgery and charged my insurance $250k!!!!
Best back surgeon I have ever met. She and her staff are simply amazing, and go out of their way to treat you as if you were part of their own family.
5 Star Review Dr. Kinchen is a Caring And Compassionate Physician. Dr. Kinchen assisted me after I had visited the quote, unquote Top Orthopedic Docs in D/FW. She did not need a set of fancy shoes and a script to glorify herself for 1/2 my visit. We discussed my options and every non-surgical option. She is highly trained and educated but, remains humble and compassionate towards her patients. Four years ago I had a multi level lumbar fusion, 2 of which were corrective from another physician’s
Interestingly, there are no malpractice suits to substantiate the negative reviews or botched surgeries noted. Dr. Kinchen is a very caring, knowledgeable, patient and overall awesome physician. I was beyond impressed with my experience in her care with both my cervical and back surgeries.
