I explained to him that my vitamin levels were concerning and he just did not want to check my vitamins and I did not like that. I think vitamins are very important and it's important to know where your level is at. And if you want to know where your level is at, then it should be something that providers should uphold. And I was really shocked by that because he's checked those before. So my energy is low and I just want to figure out why. We need to do anything possible to figure that out why. So that's my concern. I really did not like that. Other than that, I never had any real issues with Dr. Hines, but that is something that needs to be corrected.

My appointment was scheduled for 9 AM. As requested, I arrived 15 minutes early. Although I had what I thought would be the first appointment of the day (9 AM), I was not seen by my provider until 9:40 AM. Furthermore, I needed to wait an additional 45 minutes before I could get my lab work done.

I've been a patient of Dr. Hines for a couple of years now. Really think he's awesome, very professional, good listener, and responsive. Front desk is always very helpful as well and really don't have any constructive feedback aside from sometimes it's difficult to get an appointment with how busy folks are there. So I would say that's my only challenge is getting, in my opinion, a timely appointment. But the care provided and the responsiveness has always been highly satisfactory to me. Thank you.

I like the fact that he listened to my concerns and he addressed my concerns within the same session. I like the fact that he was attentive to my medical needs when he saw, you know, my numbers. Plus, when he also realized that I was not on medication, he went ahead and sent out my prescription ASAP. So, I am very grateful for that and I think that I will love going back to this doctor.

CJCare
Former Chicago Cubs outfielder CJ Stewart didn’t want to have a colonoscopy. He dreaded the liquid diet. The needles. The IV sedation. The possibility of cancer.
So how did CJ face his fears—and what happened next?
On track for a heart attack
It started in 2020 when CJ scouted a new primary care provider. He chose Dr. Randy Hines II, Wellstar Primary Care. He said Dr. Hines was the most straightforward doctor he had ever visited.
“I was overweight,” CJ remembered. “My health changed positively because Dr. Hines said things to me in a very positive way. He was direct with me and that helped save my life.”
Dr. Hines learned CJ’s father was a diabetic and had quadruple bypass heart surgery to treat a heart attack. CJ remembered him saying, “‘You’re on track to have the same thing but you can control it.’”
CJ admitted that he had a daily dose of French fries and two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before bed. Dr. Hines challenged him to rethink his relationship with food if he wanted to see his daughters walk down the aisle one day. It was tough talk and it meant something.
“I really love my daughters!” CJ said. “It made me change.”
As a result, he modified his diet, took up running and lost 45 pounds.
Preventing colorectal cancer
Then CJ’s mom revealed a family history of colon cancer.
“My wife and daughters were like, ‘We really need you to go get checked to make sure you’re good,’” he said.
Because of his fears related to the colonoscopy, CJ wanted to have Cologuard, an at-home screening test for colon cancer. But Dr. Hines recommended the 47-year-old have a preventive colonoscopy screening instead, explaining that if pre-cancerous polyps are detected during the procedure, they can be removed before becoming cancerous.
“I didn’t want to hear it,” CJ laughed. “But hearing that from a fellow African American man, I trusted that it was the right thing to do.”
Can Vitamins and Supplements Support Me in My Wellness Goals?
Many patients take dietary supplements to fill the gaps in their diet or be proactive against disease. But with all the different brands and products available, it can be difficult to decide which vitamin or supplement could be beneficial—and what could even be harmful or detrimental to your health goals.
According to the National Health and Nutrition Survey, 57.6% of adults aged 20 and over reported using any dietary supplement in the past 30 days, and dietary supplement use is more common among older adults, with 74.3% of adults 60 and older reporting supplement use.
Since 1994, dietary supplements have not needed the authorization of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be manufactured and sold, due to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. This act left manufacturers to their own devices to evaluate the safety of their products, as well as the labeling on those products.
One of the problems in assessing multivitamins is the vast selection of options available. One brand of multivitamin may contain different amounts and different vitamins compared to another brand. Therefore, it is hard to accurately evaluate the benefits of taking multivitamins and their possible effect on conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer since these vitamins are often made differently.
If you’re concerned about getting the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy, your Wellstar primary care provider can work with you on a tailored nutritional plan and can refer you to a dietitian if needed.
“The majority of the vitamins that individuals are attempting to supplement when they take vitamins are already available in their diet,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Randy Hines.
Vitamins and minerals are better used and absorbed by the body when eaten rather than consumed in a pill, according to Dr. Hines.
The various B vitamins are available in lean meats, grains, fish and nuts. The antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E) are plentiful in dairy products, fruits and vegetables. Those who truly need to take supplements may have dietary restrictions, chronic conditions such as alcoholism or live in food-deficient areas where vitamins aren’t readily available. Those who don’t fit into those categories can supplement vitamins and minerals through changing their dietary habits.
It’s also important to make sure that there will not be any interactions between supplements and medications that could lead to health concerns or change the medicine’s effectiveness.
