Patient Experience
My father was admitted through the ER with chest pain. We were scared and everything was moving so fast. Dr. Kinah came to see us in the family waiting area. She didn't just talk to us; she listened. She explained the blockage in a way we could understand, drew a little diagram on a notepad, and laid out the options for the stent procedure. She answered every one of my mother's anxious questions without rushing her. The procedure went smoothly, and Dad is home now. Her calmness kept us calm.
My wife needed a second opinion on her heart valve. Dr. Kinah reviewed all the old files and the new scans. She was direct: "The valve is deteriorating. We should plan for surgery in the next few months." No sugar-coating, but also no unnecessary alarm. She gave us clear reasons and talked us through the surgical approach she recommended. We left with a plan, not just more worry. We're scheduled for next month, and we feel prepared.
When my brother had his heart attack, Dr. Kinah was the one who called me. Her voice was so quiet and steady. She said, "He's stable now. We've taken care of the immediate problem. Can you come to the hospital? I'd like to explain what happens next." That conversation, where she sat with me in a quiet room, made all the difference. She never made me feel foolish for my questions. Her care felt like a gentle hand on our family's shoulder during the worst time.
After years of my mom being tired and dismissed, we saw Dr. Kinah. She found the problem—a tricky arrhythmia—and got her scheduled for an ablation. On the day of, Dr. Kinah popped her head in before the procedure, gave my mom a thumbs-up, and said, "Let's get this sorted." It was so... normalizing. When she came out to tell us it was a success, she was practically beaming. "We got it!" she said. The relief was incredible. Mom has her energy back. We're so, so glad we found her.
