Was told she would work with veterans, but was told only if I had other insurance also.

Dr. Kinchen has been a wonderful doctor over the years with several surgeries since 2013. After a non-union from a cervical fusion, she corrected the surgery and insured I healed properly and using a bone stimulator. I am now facing my fifth surgery with her and scheduled for a TLIF next week. Her staff has been so helpful and reassuring; such a pleasure to work with. They have already ordered a bone stimulator to insure a solid fusion. Be careful of negative reviews because spine surgery is NEVER 100% fix and that is why I trust her, she is very skilled and empathetic to pain and discomfort!

Dr. Kinchen was the first doctor in years to listento me. She wasn't eager to do surgery, she sat & listened& we worked together to come up with a plan. I didn't want to have surgery, I wanted to be pain free. I knew I could no longer live the way I was, surgery which was the best decision I've ever made. I am now 9 mo PO from Postier Spinal Fusion T10-S1 w/decompression L3-L5. All I know is I no longer live in pain. Dr. Kinchen is truly amazing and has helped change my life. I cant say enough
