Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have spent my entire adult like looking for a PCP to settle down with. Usually after a visit or two, I can tell that my health and well-being was never priority. That all changed when I met Dr. Gaines. He is the most down to earth, caring and honest physician that I have ever met and the first that I call my PCP. He listens and is super easy to joke with. He never treats any issue that I bring to him as small and eases my mind when I look too much into something without making me feel silly or delusional. Super amazing man and blessed to have found him.

Absolutely the best listener of any doctor I've been to. His staff is the same way, very friendly. Love Amber. She listens to his patients whether in the office or on the phone and follows up on any needs of the patient. I am really happy to be Dr. Gaines' patient. They really deserve six stars.

Doc Gaines and his office and nursing/staff are wonderful! They truly care. Doctor Gaines takes time to listen, he answers your questions. He does have hospital rounds and on occasion has to reschedule appointments due to emergencies at the hospital. But that is a good thing, it is nice to know that if I had an emergency he'd be there!
