Karen Vines, MD

I grew up in Huntsville, AL, also known as Rocket City, where I was introduced to engineering at a young age. However, I soon discovered that my true passion was in medicine. I attended UAB for both my undergraduate studies and medical school, where I found my calling in family medicine. I realized I wanted to advocate for patients and provide the kind of comprehensive care in a way that only primary care physicians can.

In 2016, I joined Grandview Medical and have cherished the opportunity to care for so many wonderful patients, all of whom I consider friends. While my time at Grandview has been deeply rewarding, I have decided to pursue a more personalized approach to primary care.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our two children. We enjoy hiking, swimming, biking, and watching movies together.

The primary difference at Vines Concierge Medicine is time. In order to devote more time to each patient’s care and individual needs, Dr. Vines intentionally limits the size of her practice. This allows for more time to diagnose, educate, counsel, and treat. Extended, unrushed visits will enable Dr. Vines to spend meaningful time with patients, build strong relationships, and work collaboratively to provide more comprehensive, proactive care than in traditional practices. To make this possible, the patient pays an annual fee.
