Scott E. Rinesmith's Online Review Report Card

Very poor. Office doesn't return calls after literally 20 messages. Dr. Rinesmith dismisses you as a patient when you politely complain about it, justifying it because you were "rude". Who wouldn't be frustrated when you don't feel well and the doctor won't call you back? Don't recommend this doctor at all. He's dismissive and rude, and won't bother talking to you unless you're there for a "big bucks" procedure.

Terrible bedside manner. Made me feel like an inconvenience for asking questions about a procedure. His nurse practitioner does not listen or properly diagnose. Their solution is to throw more medicine at the problem, even when you tell them it’s not working. There are fantastic doctors at this practice and he is not one. Other reputable doctors in the Lima, OH area do not recommend him, which speaks volumes.

Excellent at keeping patients calm

Super nice guy -does his job

caring, professional, great bed side manner. First time I saw Dr. R, I was going through kidney failure and urgently needed a GI dr, he explained procedure and prep very well. I would recommend him to all. Unfortunately, high in demand can lead to long wait times b/c he cares for each individual he treats.

Terrible bedside manners, all about his pocket. Rhinesmith is hardly available to see his patience. Wants to force his M.A. on you

Worst bedside manner I have experience in my lifetime. Rolled his eyes at me when I was crying in a hospital bed because I said I was in pain. Did a colonoscopy on me while admitted and then insulted my family while they reacted to a poor diagnosis while I was in recovery. When I asked for painkillers he told me I was going to be a narcotic addict, all I asked for was something to get the edge off so I could lay without screaming. I filed a complaint with hospital and will never see him again

Egotistic personality, very rude and had me quite sick till i had enough. Thank god i found another md. I feel alot better now. I wouldnt send a enemy to this man

Ordered bloodwork. Refused to give me results. Sent results to another doctor without my permission. Wrote bloodwork orders so insurance company won't cover. There has got to be something illegal here. He needs license revoked. I would give 0 stars if possible.

Never calls back with results, always get answering machine. His office messes up and he fails to apologize but will call out patients anytime they do something wrong. I was told I was having a colonoscopy 3 different times the nurse was looking at the wrong patient chart one and the other ones were cancelled by him and the scheduling person did not know. Seems to be NO COMMUNICATION in this office. Suppose to be helping through this tough process but only impeads progress. Smart man when it comes to medications but very little common sense. Felt like he has minimal understanding about what a patient is going through and other things they have to deal with in life.
