I like Dr. Vinson. She's great at explaining and although for me, no answer was a good answer, it made sense. We just have to work through it to craft a solution going forward.

Both Dr. Schuster and Dr. Vinson were excellent and so was the Resident Physician who was working with Dr. Vinson.

Dr. Vinson one of the most capable, knowledgeable, and caring doctors I have had. I have absolute confidence in her and have sought her recommendations for other providers for me and for my husband.

In a word Dr Vinson is "exceptional". She is a great combination of smart, empathetic, patient listener, understands her patients concerns, problem solver, a doer, and action oriented. I landed in her care just by the luck of the draw needing an ENT, but I now consider her my Doc and will refer her as often as I'm able. She's a breath of fresh air in a system that often makes patients feel like they are a number and that we're just being herded along.

Dr. Vinson is one of the best doctors I have ever had. I went to my appointment very nervous about what might be going on with my throat and other ENT issues. Her warm and gracious manner put me at ease. She was knowledgeable and thorough in discussing and explaining the diagnostics and treatment options as well as the medication prescribed. In addition, she discussed further possible treatment options that might be pursued depending on what my follow-up appointment revealed. I left my appointment knowing I was in the best of hands.
