Specialities:

Internal Medicine

I am a strong proponent of shared decision making and believe in a collaborative approach to developing effective treatment plans for my patients. 

I am especially interested in lifestyle medicine and how therapeutic lifestyle changes can be implemented to treat or reverse chronic medical conditions. A board-certified specialist in internal medicine, I joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2023

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, trying new foods, and serving in my local church.

“I cannot say enough about Dr. Gaines. He was my doctor for years when he was at another network and I followed him to St. Luke's, even though the other office is much closer to my home. I have Long COVID and have been living with it for 4 years. It is an extremely difficult illness to live with. I have severe chronic fatigue and am unable to work because of it. I am only 44 years old. I travel to NYC to The Center for Post-COVID Care at The Mount Sinai Hospital to be treated. This is because St. Luke's does not offer this type of care. Most doctors at both of these hospitals have extremely limited knowledge. At times, I have been medically gaslit along with other patients because some doctors do not acknowledge this illness as a real illness, despite the fact that millions of Americans suffer from it. Dr. Gaines and I discuss my Long COVID at each appointment. He even wrote my referrals for Speech Therapy and Physical Therapy which I had for brain fog/memory loss and fatigue. This was even in the beginning in 2021. I chose to receive care at Good Shepherd because I was familiar with the staff there. He never doubted my illness and was always extremely validating. This is not the typical experience for a LC patient in the US. I cannot say enough about him as a doctor.”

“Dr. Gaines is professional and personable. For this visit (because of his monitoring my health from last year), he actually took me off a medication. I feel very good about that. He is not one to "push" pills on you. I like the way he explains things simply and directly to my health status. When my previous PCP retired three years ago, I researched and found Dr. Gaines. After my first visit, I knew we were a "perfect fit".”
