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've had two tele-heath sessions with Dr. Vives. He took his time, answered my questions in clear language. I never felt rushed. I am confident he had my best treatment options in mind. Highly recommend. Tammy, Heather, and his other office staff are kind, caring, knowledgeable and helpful, too.

Dr. Vives is excellent in explaining what the diagnosis is. He is very aware of patient circumstances (I live about 2 hours away and drive to see him). One appointment of mine he was called away for an emergency. Before leaving he read my MRI reports and left a message through nurse that all is fine and when I needed to schedule moving forward. Very considerate. Excellent office staff.

Fortunately for us in Sarasota, Florida, Dr Vives has relocated. He is a highly skilled neurosurgeon, with a good personality and bedside manner. What an opportunity his presence in Sarasota has provided for complex surgery without having to leave town.

On April 30, 2006 my daughter was in a severe ATV accident which left her with a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord fracture (C 1,2 &3), as well as other injuries. If it was not for Dr. Vives my daughter would not be with us today. He drove from his home to preform emergency brain surgery on my daughter. Not only did my daughter make a full recovery but earned her degree in Human Services. There are no words to say how eternally grateful I am to Dr. Vives and all he has done. Donna Kuhl
