Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

David Kines, FNP, is consistently praised across hundreds of reviews for his exceptional knowledge and clinical expertise in hand, wrist, elbow, and finger conditions. Patients frequently highlight his ability to clearly explain diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures in ways that are easy to understand. His communication style stands out as a major strength — he is repeatedly described as a skilled listener who takes the time to thoroughly address questions and concerns without making patients feel rushed. His bedside manner is widely celebrated, with patients using words like kind, compassionate, empathetic, personable, and reassuring.

Patients also share

The reviews contain very few criticisms, reflecting an overwhelmingly positive patient experience. One reviewer noted that post-appointment scheduling for surgery was not followed up on as expected, though they acknowledged this was likely an administrative issue unrelated to David directly. Another reviewer felt that the description of post-injection discomfort was somewhat understated. These represent isolated observations rather than recurring themes.
