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.

My Femur Exploded
I was involved in a serious car accident in 2020 and was taken to emergency at Akron General where Dr. Vrabec operated on me. According to him, my femur exploded during the accident that would have required 3200 lbs. of pressure to achieve. He rebuilt my hip and removed many bone shards from the muscles in my leg and hip. After some time, I was able to walk again. I credit him with saving my life, and I believe he is a top-rated surgeon. He is also very easy to talk to and is very knowledgeable. If I were looking for the best surgeon, I couldn't have gotten any luckier than to have had him perform the operation.

Dr Vrabec has done 2 total hip replacements on me within last 16 mos. He is far most the best surgeon. His office staff is very caring about all their patients. Dr Vrabec takes his time with each one of his patients and explains to them what his plans,are as far as any surgery needed. I would recommend Dr Vrabec to all my friends and family if needing any type of surgery related to ortho. Thank you Dr Vrabec.
