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.

Dr. Vakil is the BEST!
Dr. Vakil is down to earth and he explained everything about my hip replacement and listened to my concerns thoroughly. From my first consultation to my 3 month follow up, he was listening and caring.

Outstanding!!!
In a 5-star world, Dr. Vakil is a stellar 6. To describe him, here are the words that come to mind: caring, professional, skillful and (extremely) experienced, with a very compassionate nature. You would be hard pressed to find someone as exceptional as Dr. Vakil.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Vakil is the kind of doctor you don't want to disappoint. He's so very nice. He spends quality time with you explaining every step of your procedure. You don't feel rushed and that your questions aren't relevant. He has the best demeanor, kind, friendly, encouraging and very supportive. He gives you the hard facts about your outcome if you don't fully participate in your recovery. He's one of your biggest cheerleaders during your rehab. Thank you very much Dr. Vakil for getting me closer to my goal of being able to ride a bike again!!

Can't say enough great things!!
Dr. Vakil is extremely caring, competent and thorough, and he has a very pleasant manner and a friendly and encouraging personality! My surgery went flawlessly, my recovery went without a hitch and his support getting me back literally 'on my feet' was greatly appreciated! My only regret is not having him perform my previous surgery! Thank you, Dr. V!!
