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.

Negligent
Had a total thyroidectomy prior to my first visit, I had gained a good amount of weight regardless of diet, he dismissed the weight gain due to hypothyroidism and told me I was over eating and put diagnostic code for obese due to over consuming calories which is completely wrong. Second visit 6 months later he still had not obtained my records and was still uninformed about my history, dismissed the weight again even after I had obtained a dietician per his recommendation, stated he did not want to give me a high dose of synthroid because it “may cause heart palpitations” even though current dose was not working. I had messaged him post visit and never received a response, had bloodwork done and never received a follow up call and never adjusted medication. Horrible doctor who does not listen and states weight gain in from everything else in life not hypo . Would never recommend anyone to go to him. Stay away.

BEST ENDO
Dr. Vavilis is absolutely amazing and I recommend him to everyone. He has a little bit of a wait time but it's because his patients don't cancel cause he's so good.

Thankful
Excellent- Dr Vavilis realised my previous physician was over medicating me. His diligence finally got me on the right track and my medication is perfect and I am no longer feeling ill from being over medicated

Very caring and professional. He literally solved my issues during my pregnancy pointing out possible thyroid disease. I stayed nauseous and very sick to find out my thyroid levels was abnormal. I'm forever grateful because many doctors couldn't figure out why I was fatigue, low energy and irregular heart bbeat but Dr vavillis ran many test and never gave up on me and caught the issue in time and I ended up having a awesome pregnancy...he prescribed me meds to control levels of thyroid and all turned out well.
