"Dr Vinitsky is a reliable, knowledgeable and caring physician. I went to him for 11 yrs when I lived in the county his office is. His background in alternative/traditional medicine is invaluable and quite hopeful for a successful outcome of treatment. He is an extremely avid reader of medical journals. He has a gift for accurate diagnosis. He is not controlled, nor manipulated by the drug industry. If you are looking for a physician whom spends ample time listening to you & treating you, he's it!"

Self-verified patient of Dr. Alan R Vinitsky - Posted on April 19th, 2016

"He gave me a new hope for life. I can fix and ride motorcycles without fear of pulling over on the side of the road under some bridge with shade dying in agony from my migraines. I am referring all my friends and family to him because I cannot begin to explain the level of care, bedside manners all around best doc and trust me I've met over 25 doctors and he is like all the specialists wrapped in one package. I am kitty with joy knowing I have him to take care of me."

"I've been a patient of Dr, Vinitsky for over 8 yrs, he was a life savior! I had suffered with chemical sensitivity for years and had been tested and treated for a variety of symptoms by my primary physician with no relief or answers, including being prescribed anti depression drugs. After being referred to Dr. Vinitsky by another environmental illness specialist, Dr. V. did a battery of tests and continues to do blood testing to keep track of my vitamin levels etc.. however I've never felt that this was excessive, rather scientific follow up. Dr. V does spend a lot of time with each patient so be prepared to wait for your turn or call ahead and check on his availability. I've always been grateful for his attention to my issues and treatment. He is a concerned physician who is always seeking answers to improve patient progress. He does recommend a lot of dietary supplements but has always given instructions to check on line for the best price. Recently he has offered private label combination medications to cut down on multiple meds, but I've never felt pressured to switch from my on line suppliers. It should be noted, in my case, many of these are meds he also takes for his health issues."

"Dr. Vinitsky is an absolute gem. I was extremely sick with chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. I went to him because no other doctor could help me. He began treating me a little over a year ago, and I am a completely different person. I have to say that Dr. Vinitsky saved my life and I am extremely grateful to him. The only downside is that he tends to run very late for appointments, but I usually call ahead and find out when to come, so it's not an issue. He spends as much time with each patient as is necessary"

"I could not fine any doctors in Virginia that could help me. I lost the ability to walk, speak clearly or make much sence of what I was saying. I felt as if I was in a bad dream. I found Alan Vinitsky. Many tests later with some costing (insurance would not cover) close to $1,200 each. These test showed I had been exposed to dangerous pesticides. The combination of these pesticides was close to agent orange from my place of employment. Allen Vinitsky saved my life. I came back close to normal as I will ever get from the damage that was done. I know if I had not found Allen Vinitsky I would have died. This happened in 2002 -2005 at that time, his staff should have been fired and replace with people that care and know what they are doing."

Allergy/enviro sensitivities M.D. in Gaithersburg, Md "I searched these forums a while back for a doctor for my son and got some leads, but none to Dr. Alan Vinitsky. I think he might be Maryland's greatest secret. He literally wrote the book on environmental allergies and toxins. He is liscenced for kids and adults. He is knowledgeable about heavy metals, yeast, allergies and sensitivities. He helps kids with developmental delays... He is very friendly to children and he gives lots of time in appointments. I am grateful to finally have been referred to him."

"Alternative treatment. We have tried behavior modification with some success. Positive reward systems seems to work to some extent. The best thing we have found though was Dr. Alan Vinitsky. He had our son's blood tested (not covered by insurance though) and we discovered our son had toxic levels of copper and other metals in his blood. We also discovered that he had almost non-existent levels of many important vitamins and nutrients in his blood. While expensive, we have been supplementing his diet with the best bioavailability we can buy and are seeing great results. The two things we have found through Dr. Vinitsky that have been our saving grace are sublingual vitamin b-12 and liquid form glutathione. When he gets too hyper, we give him B-12 (not any sublingual b-12 - we've tried the cheaper stuff from the vitamin shop and had no results). It calms him right down. The stuff we buy is only available through doctors--"

"After becoming very sick from a sick building over 15 years ago, Dr. Vinitsky, became an invaluable member of my medical team. He has been instrumental in helping me to return to a state of health that allows me to enjoy life. I am still a patient and I refer people to Dr. V regularly. Quite frankly, there is no other way to put it than to say that Dr. V is brilliant. His understanding of nutrition, environmental issues, and the complex workings of the entire human body is genius. His writings about his discoveries will continue to amaze and guide the medical community long after we are all gone, in my opinion!"

"Yes, his staff could be more cooperative and helpful yes, he most likely gives much of the same supplements to everyone yes, he had some licensing issues before (he can explain that, and let me tell you, any worthwhile Lyme-literate MD probably will have some issues with either licensing or insurance --do your research] and yes, unless you get the first appointment of the day, you may have a long wait (there's a reason for that -- HE DOES NOT RUSH THROUGH APPOINTMENTS). If you want a drive-by pediatrician to just write you a quick prescription after an even-quicker diagnosis, then find someone else. If you want a pediatrician/family doctor who will take the time to consider medical history, environmental exposures, nutritional deficiencies, and more, and then treat with proven nutritional protocols, etc., AND treat you as if you have a brain, you should give Dr. Vinitsky a try. Don't just judge him on the wait time, his staff or what appears to be a one-size-fits-all protocol. If you're lucky enough to get an appointment, you will leave feeling blessed. He is a rare find in a sea of mediocrity."
