Thank you for taking great care of my daughter. Jaw surgery is a scary thing to go through. Dr. Kinard and his staff were very meticulous, respectful, concerned and patient with me (Mom) when overly concerned. They were there when we needed them and always very helpful. I cannot thank you enough for easing our minds at times and being professional, caring and helpful. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend Dr. Kinard. My daughter is healing well and doesn't have the pain that she had prior to jaw surgery. As a nice bonus, she looks amazing! Thank you again to Dr. Kinard, his team, staff and everyone at UAB Oral & Maxillofacial.

Very caring, professional. Dr. Kinard took the time to examine the area of concern and explained what was happening and how it needs to be treated and how I need to continue with my treatment at home and continue with prescribed medication until the full prescription is complete. Very pleased with his overall treatment.

Devon and Dr Kinard are great. Dr Kinard saw my son’s mouth and stated, we need to do this, this and this. His nurse, Devon answered all my questions and helped deal with me in crisis mode. They worked really well communications with the orthodontist team in another state.
