Frequently asked questions.
About this site, what it is (and isn't), and what to do if you think you've encountered an impersonator.
Is this an active medical practice?
No. This site shares Dr. Pinkston's personal and professional biography only. It is not an active clinical practice and does not offer medical consultations, diagnosis, treatment, or telehealth services of any kind.
Can I book a consultation, appointment, or "second opinion" through this site?
No. This site does not accept bookings, appointments, or consultation requests, and no page on this site offers a way to pay for medical advice. If you need medical care, please contact a licensed physician in your area, or your local emergency services in an emergency.
Someone claiming to be Dr. Pinkston contacted me on WhatsApp, a dating app, or social media — is it really him?
No. Photos and biographical details from sites like this one are frequently copied and used by scammers to build trust with strangers online, often as part of a romance scam or a fake "doctor" persona used to ask for money, gifts, or personal information. If this has happened to you, stop communicating with that account, don't send money or personal information, and report it to report@drstephenhpinkston.site.
How can I verify I'm actually looking at Dr. Pinkston's real site?
This is the only website associated with this biography. Dr. Pinkston does not use dating apps, WhatsApp, or social media to offer medical advice or build personal relationships with strangers. If you're unsure whether a message you've received is genuine, treat it with skepticism — especially if it asks for money — and reach out to report@drstephenhpinkston.site to check.
Can I verify Dr. Pinkston's medical license directly?
Yes — state medical boards maintain public license lookups. In Texas, that's the Texas Medical Board. This site's Credentials page shares his educational and training background for biographical purposes, but it isn't a substitute for checking a board's current licensure records.
How do I get in touch?
For general, non-medical inquiries, use the Contact page. To report impersonation or a suspected scam using this name or these photos, email report@drstephenhpinkston.site.
