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.

Execellent Physician and Office!
I could not agree more with Ms. Conley-Johnson's comments above. This office is organized, responsive, accommodating of a change of schedule. My dad is 91yo and Dr. Vizcarra introduced himself while my dad was emergently admitted for a pacemaker. New PCP, New Surgeon, and more. It was a very stressful time. Dr. Vizcarra was informative, reassuring and spoke to my father directly despite his HOH. that was 3 yrs ago. I have never had to wait or been pushed to see the PA, although I hear she is great too. Dr. Vizcarra remembers my dad, he knows his health history and we do not have to restate everything at each appointment. As health issues arise Dr. Vizcarra manages them appropriately and keeps my father comfortable. If you are searching for a PCP look no further. TLS on behalf of Geo A.

Saved my Life
In 2016, Dr Vizcarra saved my life by immediately recognizing my colon was in trouble. My sigmoidcolon had ruptured. 2019, Dr Vizcarra saved my life again, metastatic lung cancer. Dr Vizcarra took very good care of my late husband through the years. Highly recommend Dr Vizcarra and is staff. Thank you....

Made the mistake of trusting this office
Worst doctors office in Sebastian. They purposely make you come to their office more times than necessary and code the visits so your insurance company won't pay them and you have to pay out of pocket. Plus, you RARELY will ever see anyone other than a nurse practitioner but are charged physician prices. They screwed me out of my employers insurance seeding of $2k. To me it was done purposefully.

He has been right on with me and if I feel to change something, of course a bit of frustration, but if it works he is fine about it. I know he listens, I am a hard patient and he works well with me

Stuck my wife in the hospital for 5 days for something 2 outpatient procedures would have taken care of only to run up over a $100,000 hospital bill. Didnt even give us the option of out patient. Especially after i expressed concern over the cost and how my wifes insurance isnt very good.
