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.

Very good doctor ,he fixed my shoulder ......

Best knee surgeon in my opinion
I just want to say thank you so much to Dr. Vinyard, the anesthesiology team, & everyone else on board who assisted with my surgery care pre & post op. The nurses that ran my iv and took my blood for the PRP injection both got my veins on the first try which no one else could do. Also Jessica for her scheduling help. Starting PT on Friday. I look forward to seeing this team again for my right knee in the future. You all are rock stars & have a beautiful facility.

Dr. Vineyard comes across a really nice and caring person. My only compliant would be 3 days after serve rotator cuff surgery, I was expected to return to work. All while under the influence of prescription pain killers that i have learned should not operate a vehicle, cause dizziness and drowsiness. I see it as to be placed into harms way to drive to work with one arm, under the influence of the pain killers. Since I was off work for 3 days do not qualify for work comp benefits therefore living off my cash reserves since i have not been authorized to return to work by my employer.

Dr. Vineyard helped my 19 yo daughter tremendously! Very knowledgeable and great bedside manner - her surgery went great and she had a very smooth recovery! Will refer him to others for sure!

Dr. Vinyard is hands down one of my favorite surgeons. I have had multiple issues and surgeries on my left knee which Dr. Vinyard and his PA Eric manage. When I injured my Right knee I knew exactly who I wanted to see. He’s open, honest, gives great recommendations but then leaves it to the patient to decide given all information (pros and cons). Inital appt scheduled quickIy. I did have concerns about surgery scheduling and the length of time It took to initially hear from the scheduler.

Dr. Vinyard has operated on my knee twice and my shoulder once. I have never doubted his level of expertise, nor have I questioned my care. He always lays out the options and empowers me to do what I think is best. Dr. Vinyard is kind, talented, and he cares deeply for his patients!

I was able to get in quickly and get a diagnostic exam. Once the results showed I didn't need surgery, he had no further recommendations. I still have the problem but no one to help me figure out what it is.

I had a torn ACL, Dr Vinyard educated me on my options and was able to schedule my surgery in a timely manor. The staff at Mercy River Hills Surgery Center, were very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. My surgery and recovery was successful and I am back to 100%. I would highly recommend Dr Vinyard.

Very personable, to the point, efficient. He took time to discuss my problem. He diagnosed my knee problem, didn't mess around with trying non -surgical efforts, and performed meniscus surgery. I recovered quickly and only needed one post-surgical follow up. I really appreciate his no-nonsense approach. I wanted to get better and he did his part to make it happen.
