Patient Comments

September 18, 2018I was expecting Dr Kincaid's PA, so I was surprised to see him. Which explains the seriousness of this visit. Dr Kincaid was to the point and made sure I understood what I needed to do, not do, and add to my daily, weekly, monthly regiment. I appreciate his time and knowledge. Dr Kincaid is an excellent care provider.
September 12, 2018The physician was first rate.
August 19, 2018Good
July 10, 2018*Dr. Kincaid sat with me, explained everything in simple language and answered my questions at length.
June 7, 2018Had already been to three other heart doctors and received very good news from *Dr. Kincaid.
May 30, 2018All good.
May 9, 2018was in the room for only about 3 minutes
February 21, 2018*Dr. Kincaid is very knowledgeable. I liked the way he consulted other doctors and did not just cut me open without tests and looking at pictures more than once.
