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.

Dr . Vines has been my Pulmonologist since he first began practicing. He has saved my life more than once. Dr. Vines is the only Pulmonary physician I will see. I respect his ability as a physician and his professional care and support. He cares for others with deep conviction and compassion. Best Pulmonologist around.

Very professional doctor.
Dr. Vines is always nice and professional. What sets him aside from others is he makes handwritten notes to maintain eye contact with his patients. He is able to better communicate with his patients.
