Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would give a 0, but 1 is the lowest rating. He had a horrible bedside manner, and he did not do a thorough history and physical exam. The stitches he in my mothers forehead looked horrible. Hopefully it will heal well and not become infected. I did not feel comfortable with him treating my mother. I am glad I am a nurse and could monitor what was done. I will never have her transported to vista ER in Lindenhurst.

If I could put zero Stars I would. I have had three separate encounters with dr. Terrell and every single one of them was horrible. The first time, I was even warned about him by one of his nurses before he came in to speak to us. He is the rudest most ignorant doctor I have ever come across. He absolutely does not care at all about his patience and he makes that very obvious. He over prescribes everything which is one of the things his nurse warned us about. I will never go back to him!

Let me start off by saying he is very rude! He doesnt even deserve 1 star! I brought my son to the ER Dr. Calvin Terrel Came into our room no hi hello just sat down barking questions at me treated me like didnt know what I was talking about. I Refused any further treatment or assistance with him. He got up and basically slammed the sliding door because I would not deal with his manners anymore! The whole point of being a doctor is to have your patients best interests at heart!

If I could put 0 stars I would. He was ignorant, rude, and overall a real jerk. He didn't care what was wrong with me, and he treated me as if I was a child. My worst experience with Vista Medical center, and I won't be returning ever. He could have cared less if I was sick or not. -5 stars if I could.

Never go to Vista ER and see this man go to another hospital. I had my 10 year old daughter who got hurt for the first time ever and she was scared to death. He was rude, ignorant and made us wait 4 hours with an open wound while he played on the computer. Didn't explain anything and even prescribed an antibiotic my daughter is allergic too. Her stitches look like Edward Scissorhands did them.Thank goodness for nurses they were apologizing for him and insisted we complain.No way to treat a child
