Vinette W Tummings MD

First off I was sketchy Bc it’s inside her home, or inside a brown stone. I am unsure if it is her home. When I got to the office they were playing future or maybe it was 2 chainz either way it wasn’t appropriate for a doctors office and I’m a young black 30 year old female. So i don’t mind hip hop. But I do mind it when I’m at the gyn. I didn’t have my insurance card but i did have the card number the ghetto receptionist who was singing the words to the 2chainz song that was on the radio tells me go to the website and and screen shot a copy of my virtual card. With much hesitance I did as she requested. I said am I suppose to use my internet so she pointed yes pointed to the sign that says WIFI AVAILABLE! So she walks away. The dr comes in and says yea u can def print it but idk how clients do it all the time! the receptionist says u should walk with ur card anyway! Then dr Tummings says I’m going to the bathroom I be right back! Bathroom? I don’t want to hear that the doctor that is going to be touching all on my insides is going to wipe her a**! Next asking to be excused will be suffienct Doc. While I’m struggling to find my card online Bc they said their outside biller needs a copy they proceeded on Dr Tummings office surfing the web! At that point I wanted to act like I was from the projects up the block for them but I didn’t I walked out! And they never stopped me or called to ask what happened! SO LADIES BE WARE! I only changed for my other doc Bc she doesn’t work weekends and her hours are too early for the work I do! Please don’t waist your good insurance on this very unprofessional and skeptical place

The doctor was very sick when i saw her. She was wearing a mask so she didn’t spread the virus she had, obviously making me very uncomfortable to begin with. She asked me a series of questions that were all muffled and intermittently stopped to blow her nose and i watched as her snot dropped down her face. This all felt unhygienic no matter what extent she went to protecting me from her cold. I think if your that sick you shouldn’t be at work. When i asked her about the difference between the IUDs, a considerably nerve racking topic, her response was «there are pamphlets in the waiting room let me know which one you want and we can order it.» REALLY you expect me to just wing an invasive surgery in my uterus based on the pamphlets in your waiting room?! I will never be back here again.

If it’s a life or death situation regarding prescription, she will never get back to as she says. There is no office phone, so prepared to get weirded out when you get a cellphone voicemail which happens often. Lastly, upon my visit I refused for this doctor to give me a Pap smear. Why… The examination room is right behind her office. While she seated me in her office, I heard her in the examination JUST change the exam table paper roll!!! There wasn’t any sounds of any type of sterilization wipes nor did this doctor have gloves on. I highly suggest hippa looks into the way this office handles cleanliness.

The worst OBGYN I have ever gone to. The exam room is tiny and I didn’t even want to take my socks off everything was old/​dirty in the room and there is very poor lighting. The pap takes 2 seconds. I requested no testing with my pap however from my bill I realized they did run tests, said it was apart of the pap… either way never got any results back or heard anything. Very unprofessional and will not be going back nor referring anyone. You would be better off going to a City MD.

While her office could use a fresh coat of paint, Dr. Tummings was great! I came in for an annual exam and everything went well. She listened to all of my questions and was very straight forward with her answers. I found her to be quite friendly, despite past reviews. Seems like she’s been doing this for a long time and knows what she is doing. It’s also great that she has late appointments, so it’s convenient for after work.

I think Dr. Tummings is great. She was on time and very clear and concise with her intake of medical history and findings. I will definitely recommend her to others and will return for future visits.

I went to her two years ago so my experience is well marinated hence fair. She was rude and unprofessional. She criticized my past requests for ordering certain tests because I was ‘wasting time and money’. She called me a hypocondriac and labeled all my concerns abruptly as ‘gas’ without doing any routine exams.
I don’t like her.

Well, I didn’t feel uncomfortable but I didn’t feel comfortable either. She made a few comments that made me feel ridiculous. There’s about a 99% chance that I will not go back to her.

I really don’t know why there are such bad reviews for Dr. Tummings! She’s never kept me waiting, she’s always taken all my concerns and issues seriously (I’ve had a terrible history of doctors withholding information or telling me my concerns were irrelevant), and she has a great attitude.
Please give her a chance. She’s a great doctor.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had from a medical ‘professional.’ She didn’t explain what she was doing, then poked and prodded me as she gossiped about other patients with the nurse practitioner. She made fun of me for being confused with her directions and not answering the personal and family medical history with the lightening rod speed she asked. Mostly she acted like I wasn’t in the room and was flippant about my questions. I left there confused, abused and disgusted. Don’t go here!

Pretty much the worst Dr. ever. Kept me waiting every time I went to see her, once over two hours. Once in the exam room, she made me feel like I was taking horrible care of my health when in fact I am a very healthy person. When she needed the nurse practitioner she stuck her head out the door and yelled her name at the top of her lungs over and over until she came in. Then she joked with her while giving me my exam. When I had to have a procedure, she didn’t explain it well, and then did such a hack job I felt like I was in a back alley dr. office. It was the worst dr. experience I have EVER had. Don’t see her!!!
