Dr. Dominador C. Gines Jr., M.D
Obituary
Dr. Dominador C. Gines Jr., M.D., entered into eternal rest surrounded by family and friends on February 5, 2024. He was born in Ilocos Sur, Narvakan, Philippines to Dominador Gines Sr. and Eusebia Caban Gines on October 28, 1939. He was 84 years old and a resident of Salinas for 43 years.
First and foremost, a dedicated doctor, he lent his talents and time to different organizations of the Filipino Community of Salinas Valley, holding many board positions including past president. He had a private practice in Salinas and was on staff at Salinas Valley Medical Hospital. He served as a doctor at Soledad Correctional Training Facility from 1981-2006.
One of his proudest accomplishments was the opening of the Alta Medical Clinic in Gonzales. He loved to serve the people of Gonzales and South County. He practiced there from 1991-2018, with a brief stint of 6 months in retirement-but he missed his patients so much that he came back.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Leah T. Gines, children Dominador Jay (Janice) Gines and Rachelle (Anthony) Selko as well as three grandchildren.
