Dr. Vincent Gregory Tichenor, MD

DO NOT go to this doctor if you are a woman. He will not listen to any of your concerns.

This is the WORST Dr. I have ever seen! I was having health problems and this man spent my entire appointment schooling me on the proper use of Tylenol and sent me on my way. Now, with a better Dr. I have been diagnosed with Lupus, Sjogren's, Reynauds, and advanced arthritis. Avoid this DR!

Clearly, he does not believe in prescriptions for mental health. Did he prescribe me medication? Yes. Did I get a 10-minute sexist lecture about how women can’t do pull-ups in the gym without a resistance band and to think of the medication as a resistance band? Also yes. Did he tell me I needed to “do more” in order to improve after I told him I was in therapy? Ding ding ding, you guessed it. Also yes. He doesn’t believe in prescribing over 10mg for an antidepressant. That is unbelievably harmful to the mental health for someone who needs help. Weight was brought up as well, but he “wasn’t going to talk about it until I was in a better place mentally.” Why did he bring it up at all then? He didn’t even have the inclination to ask if I exercised or ate healthy. Do not go to this man for mental health or if you are "overweight." Do not book an appointment with him if you are a neurodivergent woman. Sarah Duda (who also works at the Bass Pro Family Health Center) is an absolute angel. I did my follow-up appointment with her, and she didn’t bring up any of the concerns he raised. I didn’t bring up how absolutely awful he was either. Steer clear, ladies!!!!

He told me there was no such thing as covid, when I went in to see him. I had flu like symptoms and thought he would test me for covid, when I got that response from him. My daughter had just tested positive for covid about 4 weeks before. Went in yesterday to see about getting a steroid shot in my hip as I was having a hard time walking due to inflammation in my upper thigh and he put me on the steroid pills, told me the shot doesn't work any faster than the pills but pills don't guarantee that the medicine will go where it needs to go. Its common sense that an injection directly into the area that needs it would work faster and more efficiently.

He lies and denies any kind of medical care! Wouldn't see him again, even if it was a life and death situation! He's THAT bad!!

He lies, fails to divulge VERY important information to patients, the notes he takes during appts, purposefully makes YOU sound like YOU'RE failing to do whatever you can to get better and he flat out refused me, on THREE separate occasions, a referral to an OBGYN to get my hormones tested (when a ton of all my problems/symptoms point towards a hormone problem). This "doctor" should be avoided at all costs!!
