From a very young age, Dr. Kinal knew he wanted to be a Cosmetic Surgeon.  All of his studies, education, training and time was spent focused on this specialized craft. He had an inherent urge to help people and even through a hectic residency in some of LA’s busiest hospitals, patient care was always in the forefront of his concerns.

His mother Nurse Sandy remained a driving force through the often hectic and rugged schedule of medical school that required many years of long hours and very little sleep.

To prepare himself for medical school Adam spent much of his time creating various ways to help children with leukemia by founding and serving as Vice President for the “Friend’s For Life”, F.S.U Chapter in Florida where he raised money and awareness for pediatric leukemia patients. He spent time as a volunteer at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Florida as a volunteer in the Emergency Dept. In 2003 he joined the International Medical Outreach and collected medical supplies as well as setting up clinics to provide medical care in villages in Jamaica.

Adam graduated Florida State University with his bachelor's in Biology as well as Chemical Science and then went on to study medicine at the University of South Florida College of Medicine.  A year after starting medical school in 2004 at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, Florida Dr. Kinal began working as a camp counselor for 44 children ages 14-18 with Type 1 Diabetes in 2005.

He completed a Residency at the University of Southern California in General Surgery.  Much of his training was at Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, one of the largest public hospitals and medical training facilities in the United States. He also trained at USC University Hospital, C.H.L.A- Children’s Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital and Kaiser West Los Angeles.

His time at these highly active hospitals also gave him invaluable experience in the arena of plastic/reconstructive surgery, breast cancer surgery, pediatric, laparoscopic surgery, hepatobiliary, colorectal, bariatric surgery, transplants, cardiothoracic surgery, skin cancer, head and neck surgery as well as endocrine surgery.

All of Dr. Kinal’s hard work and diligence paid off and he went on to complete a Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship at one of the busiest and best surgical practices nationwide, where he has worked on over 1200 cases during the Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship program (Cosmetic surgery is a unique disciplined specialized category of medicine solely focused on enhancing a patient’s appearance through surgical and medical techniques). See more about Cosmetic Surgery.

The Fellowship at Southern Surgical Arts in Chattanooga, TN, and Calhoun, GA, is one of the most sought after in the U.S and Dr. Kinal trained with two nationally known and highly respected surgeons, Dr. Carey Nease and Dr. Chad Deal successfully performing over 1200 cases in one year alone.

Dr. Kinal is a Board-Certified Surgeon with the American Board of  Surgery and is a Fellowship-trained Cosmetic Surgeon with the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, holding a medical license in 4 states including California, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. 

On a lighter note, Dr. Kinal likes to relax at home spending time with his wife Jo and his family, friends, and their little Chorkie Poppy, where he loves to play guitar, follow his favorite sports teams or get outdoors for hiking, kayaking, and long walks enjoying nature.
