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.

Good doctor
Diagnosed my retinal detachment and performed surgery in under two weeks. Attentive. Answered all my questions.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hines?
Dr. Hines was nice and patient but I was feeling rushed into treatment that I didn’t know enough about and most importantly, the office manager told me the Dr would not want to continue seeing me if I didn’t show up for a procedure. Okay. I found another doctor the same day. This Dr needs a new office manager, not a pit bull. I wonder how many clients Dr. Hines has lost because of bad management? Also, my gut feeling was correct. Take a look at this Dr’s rating on here. It’s not very good. Funny, today I get a letter saying that I chose to leave. That’s not true. I was given an ultimatum by the staff. I don’t like being threatened.

Very inconsiderate, Office manager & Dr Hines seem not to care about poor management of appointments. Staff rude, lying to us and about who is responsible when "someone" in the office changed our appointment to a later time in the day.

I would not recommend Dr. Hines and the Retina Center because, after accepting my insurance information. they failed to inform me that they were an out-of-network provider.
