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.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DR. After 6 failed back surgeries on L3, 4, 5 & S1, which left a horrendous scar from a doctor up in the panhandle, Dr. Viola went over MRI with me and my options, I decided to give it, yes 1 more attempt. He did a spinal fusion on the areas mentioned above and somehow only leaving a thin line of a scar versus the ugly crinkled up skin about 1/2 in wide. He inserted 2 rods, 6 screws, and 3 spacers, it finally worked!! He's great, highly recommend him!

I was a patient of Dr Viola's in 2015. I came to him with extreme integrity loss/pain in my lower back. After much testing nothing sufficient was discovered to be the cause of integrity loss/constant pain. Another year has gone by of daily unforgiving pain. It's finally been discovered the cause of my back pain is abdominal separation. Increasing my abdominal cavity girth, in turn weakening my lower spine making it even more prone to injury. Thanks for missing the obvious and extra years of pain

After 7 months of looking for answers to a mysterious itching of my arms, and several non effective treatments, Dr Viola preformed neck surgery and I was amazed at the relief! He's my hero, and I recommend him to anyone looking for impossible answers!!! He gave me my life back.
