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.

If you're looking for a good nephrologist, I would
I went to north Austin Medical Center because I was in a lot of pain, the doctor emergency doctor recommended for me to see Doctor Hines as soon as possible and actually called him personally. When I called and try to make an appointment doctor Hines would not see me. I do not understand why. I have been seeing him for over 8 years. I thought we had a patient relationship. I also spoke with his nurse and she said "I cannot make Dr. Hines see you." One of my doctors to me to seat in his waiting room, until he saw me. His office staff said, "They would through me out of the office". I tried for over 2 weeks to see him. They could have referred me to another doctor in his practice. I could not believe it, Dr. Hines, and his office would so that! Why would a medical doctor do that? If you're looking for a good nephrologist, I would not recommend Dr. Hines.

Dr Peter Hines is one of a kind. Concerned, caring, interested, open to med discussions, Willing To Work With Family And Assisted Living Facility, If Every Doc Was Like Dr Hines, The World Would Be Filled With Happier, Better Informed And Probably Healthier People. Dr Hines and His Staff, Esp Lori, Go Above And Beyond In Every Way. My Father saw Dr Hines for more than 10 years before his passing from heart attack in June. Mother has seen him for 4 years. We could not be more pleased.

Dr Hines is a very knowledgeable Doctor who explains things well and cuts to the chase. If I knew more people with kidney issues I would recommend them. The staff here are also pretty swell.
