Md Vinicius Costa Diniz Domingues - Daytona Beach (FL)

5 /5 Marcelo Alves: Dr Domingues is incredibly empathetic and has really enhanced my quality of life. I had really bad lupus and recurrent rashes but he was able to find a regimen that helps significantly.

1 /5 Lechelle Maguire: My mom started seeing Dr. Domingues over 4 years ago. He was not informative and lacked bedside manner. He dismissed all my moms systems and previous medical history. By the end of the appointment, he pretty much made her think it was all in her head. She never went back for a second appointment. She switched doctors offices to FL Arthritis and met on of the most amazing NP, she really helped her and listened to everything she had to say. They came up with an accommodating treatment plan and she was feeling better than she had in years. The NP also discovered that her body didnt absorb vitamins and nutrients the way it should. Although my moms blood work wouldnt always say It was having that issue, she figured it out and changed all her vitamin intake to injections. I couldnt believe the difference in how she felt. My mom even started losing drastic amounts of weight. Unfortunately, the NP left the practices and then the practice closed for good. The family was devastated but mostly my mom. Due to insurance reasons, she had no choice but to go back to Dr. Domingues. I prayed that with a few more years of experience he would have changed but unfortunately that wasnt the case. With all my moms new records and treatment plans he stilled dismissed her as if she was crazy and treated her like she was a liar. Mind you shes dealt with this issue for over 20 years and has never taken pain killers and just anti-inflammatories, as she is against narcotics. So, according to him, my moms pain must not be that bad and her skin flareups are due to environmental causes. I am a licensed Esthetician, so I am constantly doing research trying to find skin care that will help calm her flare ups. Her butterfly rash will get so dry to the point where her skin will crack and bleed. I cannot legally diagnose anything like this, as it is not in my scope of practice, but a butterfly rash is one of the many painful side effects of lupus. I dont understand how he is still in practice. I will never return to take my mom to him again as she would leave in tears. I wish her insurance would provide more options. She for now will live her life in pain and deal with her Lupus and RA on her own. This is so unfortunate and breaks my heart. We have been trying more of a holistic approach to try and get her to feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally.

5 /5 Diana Mach: Excellent doctor. Ive been seeing him for years. I wouldnt see anyone else. Thank you Dr. Domingues

5 /5 Teresa Williams: I have been going here for many years. Doctor D. and both Nurses Patty and Beth are excellent!! I drive from Brevard county to continue care here and it is well worth the drive!

1 /5 Danielle Mason: I was truly looking forward to my appointment with this provider as I had heard such positive things from his patients, and I was desperate for relief of the severe joint pain I had been experiencing. My initial appointment was brief, but OK. It did feel rushed, but I assumed it was a typical busy day. My second visit to see this provider, I was SO very disappointed. He was very rude and dismissive. He was very short with me and gave the impression that I was wasting his time. When I became tearful, he insulted and ridiculed me. He told me I did not have autoimmune disease, and that he could not help me….. Although he gave me an injection while I was in his office ( for a disease he claims I didn’t have) and ordered more labs that were extremely pricey, even though he had already done these same labs on me a less than a year prior. I was so frustrated and upset after my last appointment with him that I essentially gave up hope that I would ever have relief of this constant severe joint pain. After moving to a new area 3 years later, my symptoms continued and I reluctantly scheduled an appointment with a new rheumatologist. I was so relieved to be treated with respect and given an extremely thorough evaluation by my new provider. I went to my first appointment Wednesday, the doctor herself called me with my lab results on the following Monday. She confirmed I not only had autoimmune disease, I had actually tested positive for three autoimmune diseases. Less than a week after my initial appointment, my new rheumatologist had a comprehensive treatment plan in the works and had already contacted my insurance to authorize specific medications. She informed me I had classic symptoms of these autoimmune diseases and was surprised that no other physicians had considered treatment for me. It’s unfortunate when a patient who is suffering has to endure extremely poor treatment from a physician, the very professional who is paid -and took an oath- to help alleviate that suffering.
