"Dr Tinsley and I have a history. He has performed numerous procedures over many years. He has a great sense of humor and my last visit was about my leg issues but when I asked him a question about a concern totally unrelated he sat down and we talked about it. He is a great doctor. When I was a school counselor and did a career fair He and nurse Mary came to the middle school in another county to introduce students to medical professions. The kids loved it. I have even gone to some doctors since and several of of those students were medical tech people and they told me that career fair kinda directed them that way due to Dr Tinsley being there. Thank you Dr. I appreciate your kindness and knowledge."
