On time and very kind. The entire staff is warm and caring. I would recommend Dr. Vines. I have been her patient since she opened her office in Hoover. She has always referred me to the very best specialist. I like that a lot. The Dr. I had before I switched to he thought he could treat everything. I was in very bad shape physically but today at 91 I get up feeling great every day. Thank you Dr. Vines for all the love and care you have given me.
