I was referred to Dr. Vinson several years ago by the VA. He is a professional, doctor that is thorough in his examinations, on time, friendly and he makes sure you understand what is being done and what he expects as results. I have had the PDT light treatment of my scalp after a Mohs surgery removed a large squamous cell cancer. It was painful for a few minutes but the results were great. I will continue to see Dr Vinson as long as he is in the practice. I strongly recommend him as an expert dermatologist in the sunny southwest.

30 minutes of the wait time was in the waiting room while my information was being input into the computer. Dr. Vinson was quick to get into the room and addressed my issues. He was very polite.

I have been a patient of Dr. Vinson for several years and have been extremely satisfied with his care and my interactions with his staff and other doctors. Dr. Vinson has found and removed both a basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma from my face. The squamous cell was removed using Mohs surgery and absolutely no scarring occurred. I had Photo-dynamic Therapy (PDT) done to my face and scalp and the results were excellent. I have had many appointments with Dr. Vinson and with only one exception, when I was called in 10 minutes after my appointment time, I have always been seen on time or early. All of the people I have dealt with at the clinic, both professional and support, have been very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Vinson and will never see another dermatologist as long as he is in practice.
