I have been going to Dr. Hines for several years now. In addition, I have referred over a dozen others to him; all who are totally satisfied with the care they have received. What sets Dr. Hines apart from others doctors is his amount of knowledge. It is totally obvious that he is committed to his profession and dedicates his time to studing new and improved ways to help people get out of pain. After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and sleep apanea I found Dr. Hines in the Yellow Pages. He treated with several different medications until we, together, found the medications and doses that were most effective in relieving my pain and discomfort. I also started getting injections several times a year which helped to reduce my need for pain medication. Overall, Dr. Hines helped me be a more productive and active women who at one time had lost hope in doctors as a whole. I am now training for a triathlon. I am 100% postive that without Dr. Hines continued treatment I wouldn't be able to.

Dr Hines is the most knowledgeable doctor I have ever been to. He takes the time to explain all options, and answers all questions. I had a torn tendon that other doctors wanted to operate on. Prolotherapy injections by Dr. Hines (PRP is now used more) was the cure for me. I never want to be treated by any other ortho doc. He's the best.

Dr Hines is the best & most excellent doctor I have ever been to.Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in many areas,& extremely good at what he does,but he is a very gentle,kind,& understanding man with much care compassion for his patients & his staff. You can just tell this when you go in his office. It is unlike any other dr's office I have been to. Every one is always happy,nice,patient and courteous,& you never feel uncomfortable with Dr Hines or any of his excellent satff. They all treat you as if you were a memeber of their own family. I have never left Dr Hine's office with out feeling much better & with much less pain than when I came in. That is because along with all his other excellent qualities Dr Hines is also a very skilled excellent doctor & knows what he is doing & how to do what ever is needed to make a patient feel better & have less pain ongoing. Thanks to Dr Hines I am much improved & believe I will continue to improve. He is a gift from GOD.Thank you.

Dr. Hines really cares and it shows as he goes over your condition...complete with a written transcript at the end of your visit. He treats you like a real person, not just a "Patient". He explains every detail and offers many options that are often on the very cutting edge of science. We really need more like Dr. Hines. I feel most with his knowledge are doing research, not private practice.
Probably the most detailed doctor I've ever seen. I'm 22 and have a partial acl tear. I went to Dr. Hines for a second opinion after setting up my surgery appointment. I had to wait in the waiting room for an extra hour (because he is so thorough with all of his patients), but it was worth it. My visit took about 1 hour because of the level of detail discussed. Visits with other doctors only took between 15 and 30 minutes! He performed a number of clinical tests on my knee, as well as got every detail about what happened and what I've been doing since. Afterwards when going over options, he presented some options that weren't even presented to me by other doctors. He had a transcript of the entire detailed visit typed up so that I would not forget what was said. He also presented me with a number of articles on some injection techniques and places to find more information. Again, the most detailed doctor I've been to. I never felt at all rushed and felt extremely cared for
I have a rare disease and have seen at least 30 doctors and Dr. Hines is superb. I am 59 and spent most of my life in Ca.where I was seen mostly at accredited teaching universities. Dr. Hines spends at least 45 minutes each visit and he explains all of the other doctors lab tests.I could go on and on about his qualities, but I have only seen two other doctors with his qualities. Most importantly he treats you with respect and he cares. Once he comes into the room he stays there and there are no interuptions. He is brilliant, and is certified in three specialties.

Very knowledgeable and explains treatment options thoroughly. My lower back pain was greatly reduced to his treatments. His staff is courteous and goes out of their way to get you in to see him.
