"Words cannot describe how utterly useless and pompous this man is. He does not care about you and his incompetence is putting people’s lives at risk. Do NOT see him. I’ve been battling with health concerns for a long time and he was my first visit. I pulled out a list of my symptoms because I get nervous in doctor settings. After reading my first two symptoms he stopped me and said “usually when people come here with a list of symptoms, it’s just anxiety.” And then proceeded to leave the room. I’ve found out recently that it looks like autonomic dysfunction is a high probability. I’m getting proper testing soon. Quite frankly this man should not be allowed to continue being a “doctor.” He just gets paid to be rude and arrogant. Doctors like this are exactly what’s wrong with healthcare."

"Great doctor and clinic. No complaints. Easy to get in to be seen."

"Predatory and abysmally unprofessional. He threatened to call the DMV and have them revoke my license due to insomnia and dizziness from an ear infection. I had to call security to prevent him from harming me and was then dismissed from the entire ETMG practice for doing so."

"Repeatedly failed to reply to calls, apparently does not use email. Didn't see, missed , or outright ignored several faxes, requests, and important documents regarding medications, medical supplies, and medical equipment that resulted in the delayed receiving of said materials. This also included waiting two weeks to fill a prescription, leading the hugely increased costs as the insurance period rolled over."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Vines for several years now and he has always been very thorough and professional. He and his staff take excellent care of me and they make it clear they are looking out for my best interest with all that they do. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a family physician to set up an appointment with him."
