Kyle Kinder, PA, is a certified physician assistant specializing in orthopedic surgery. He completed his medical training at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. Kyle sees patients for various injuries, defects, or diseases of the joints, bones, muscles, and tendons. He specializes in treating osteoarthritis, fractures, ligament injury, tendon injury, and muscle strain. As an athlete, Kyle chose orthopedics because it allows him to relate to his patients. He has always had a passion for sports and understands the injuries that can happen. It is rewarding when he can help improve a patient's overall quality of life, whether the goal is to return to a sport or live pain-free. Kyle wants his patients to feel that they are understood and always have a part in the decision-making process. In orthopedics, surgery is not always the first or right choice. He believes it is essential to present the available options and ask the patient to decide how they would like to proceed.

He likes playing basketball in recreational leagues in St. Louis, spending time with family and friends, and exploring the incredible places St. Louis offers.
