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.

Dr. Vinarsky explained my treatments on a way that I understood and helped me with a the difficulties. When I called him with a problem he was asap attentive. I felt so safe in his care.

Dr Simon Vinarsky is my oncologist for 6 years for my small cell lung cancer. He and his staff have given me the outmost professional and compassionate care you could ever wish in these very trying times. Three years ago my cancer was in regression and this time very agressif. Down to 82 lb and I was sitting in front of him to say that’s it he said are you willing to try one more innovative treatment and said yes. ! I’m now three years later in total remission. Dr Vinarsky made a miracle happen thanks to his excellent knowledge combined with his great compassion for his patient. Can never have enough gratitude to him and and his staff who were there whenever in immediate need.

Dr. Vinarsky is an excellent doctor. My husband has been under his care for 14+ years. Dr Vinarsky is not only a great medical doctor but also a kind and compassionate person. He never rushed us through an appointment. He explained everything. He was on top of all treatments. I trust him 100%.

Not sure what is going on in this office. He ordered blood work, got the bill for several tests from the lab for almost $2000, which I still don't know what they were for. All needed pre-auth (which they didn't do). Now the office says it was 1 test, not several - the lab says several. They tell me they will look into it after clinic. They do not communicate with the patient or the insurance company and patient is on the hook for the bill(s). They answer your questions - to a point. If you don't ask the question, they don't offer an answer. If you don't know what to ask, it can be a problem. Extremely frustrated with these folks

Excellent. Ive already reviewed Dr Vinarsky. I am using this space to report to Dr Vinarsky that my last PSA blood work up here in SC is down to 1.4 since the Dr prescribed Xdanti for me. Thanks. George

Starts right into diagnosis while he walks in exam room, bypassing greeting and dismissing questions, then rushes off to next patient. For this he is paid a specialist fee!
