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 came to Dr Vinsant in 2006 after 18 yrs of a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. And,several undiagnosed joint, & back pain issues, along with severe fatigue. Dr Vinsant was the kindest, most thorough Dr I've seen, treating pain disorders, At the previous clinic I'd attended, I felt unsafe due to the obivious drug seeking patients. This was not the case at Dr Vinsant's office. The treatments I received made a huge improvement in my pain & mobility. And led me to a remission of the worst of my symptoms,

Been patient of Tennova Pain Ctr 9 yrs. First visit w/ Dr. Vinsant was on 3/29/16. He changed my meds from 4 pills per day to 6 pills per day even though I asked to remain on my meds of 4 pain pills along with a patch for pain. Dr. Vinsant scheduled me for a spinal injection on 4/25/16, Waiting for 2 hours, as I was about to go into procedure room I was given a paper that said Tennova wouldn't prescribe pain meds. Dr. Vinsant was cold and uncaring. Awful excuse of a doctor. Stay away from him!!!
