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. Vavra is a wonderful Neurologist. He takes his time with you and actually listens to you. Explains himself very well. He took such a interest in all my patients pre-existing issues where with others we got no answers and they seemed to have little interest in even helping get answers. He has a passion for the neurology field. There was such a difference in the way we felt after leaving her appointment. We are blessed to have found dr. Vavra. He is exactly what we have been searching for and more. He is the first Neurologist to impress us other than the doctor who saved my patents life in Florida. Dr. Vavra is Impressive indeed. A wonderful asset to the medical field. It took a while to get in but definitely worth the wait and worth the all day trip.

Dr. Vavra clearly wants to improve his patients’ wellness. He listens to health concerns, and offers options for his patients to consider. He makes health care seem more collaborative than most doctors.

Dr. Vavra is one of the most humble, kind doctors I have ever met. I have been seeing him for about a year and a half. On my first visit, he spent well over an hour with me, even past closing time to learn my medical history. He really seems to want to help his patients and not only listens, but values their opinions. He is very well at explaining different treatment options and how they work. He is also willing to try alternative treatments such as herbs and vitamins. Highly recommend him.

Seemed genuinely interested in helping me identify and resolve my health issues. Been looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable and who cares...I'd recommend him to anyone seeking answers to difficult medical problems involving neurology.

Very kind doctor, my first Neuro was nice but that was it. Dr. V as I call him is kind and very informative. I don't leave with questions unanswered and he always makes sure I understand. And if I think of a Q, after I leave I can call. Sometimes there is a wait to see him but that's cause he takes care of his people, well worth it. Staff is great too, love nurse Daisy.

A caring doctor who actually LISTENS to you...the patient. He thinks outside the box and works with his patients to find answers to problems no one else wants to take the time to do. He is a great doc.

Dr. Vavra is wonderful. When I had some MRIs done, he sat down, went over the films with me, and explained everything that was on the films. I have never had a doctor do this with me before. He is willing to try alternatives for migraines such as vitamins and supplements ex B2,feverfew rather than just handing me a prescription for drugs that could cause dangerous side effects. Also, I never have to wait long to see him.
