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.

Horrible Nasty attitude After my knee operation he grabbed by my hand dragged me down the hallway to see me walk. I had to use a wheel chair he made my leg longer almost an inch Its very hard to get use to it please make sure you read about him if you think about going to him think again

This was my first time ever going to DR. VO there is no words to explain how I was treated when I tell you the worst experience ever I’m so disappointed!! He made a oath to treat and care for his community/patients and should be ashamed on how he treated me!! I might not have been the first but I will be the last !!!

Had acl reconstruction and a meniscus trimming in early February this year and doctor vo and his aggressive rehab policy helped me regain my full mobility within a month and a half after surgery with virtually no downtime at all his PA's have also been fantastic during my follow up visits and as a whole his team has made my recovery much easier

I have known Dr. Vo for many years and he will be doing surgery on my knee in about 6 weeks. I coached basketball for years and took all of my players to him when they had an injury. Not once has there been a problem.

"I would give "0" stars if I could" Please!!!!!!! Go to anyone else!!!!!!!! I had orthoscopy on my knees was referred by the VA through community care, he treats his patients like scum of the earth, thinks and acts like he is better than everyone else, he performed surgery on me and when I told him during a follow up appointment my knees are still very painful and they snap and pop and his reply was well of course they do. Please if your reading reviews and trying to find a doctor to help you go to someone else!!!!!!

Dr. Vo did a wonderful repair to my ankle. Florida Orthopedic Surgery said I should just live with my ruptured ligament. I believe that they didn't want to do the surgery because It was difficult. The rupture was near the muscle and surgery may not be successful. Dr. Vo agreed that it would be challenging but that he believed he could repair it. The surgery was very successful and I am so pleased that he wasn't a chicken like the doctor at Florida Orthopedic. He is an excellent surgeon. He isn't rude (you that said he is). He has a dry sense of humor. I'm in the medical field and I know when someone doesn't know what they are doing. Dr. Vo knows what he is doing and is one of the best. He helped my husband as well. Instead of doing a knee replacement, Dr. Vo said he should try an antiinflammatory first. That was the best suggestion. My husband is so much better. Yes, he will need a knee replacement eventually, but Dr. Vo bought him some time, which was what Dr. Vo was trying to do.

NEVER will I recommend Dr Vo! He saw my 76 year old mother yesterday never introduced himself, never explained what he was doing during the evaluation process, tried to force her to do things that she was unable to do. He was extremely rude, treated her as she was less than human. My mom needs a complete hip replacement as her partial replacement failed (different doctor). Dr Vo has a reputation of having bad bedside manner but this treatment was beyond the normal of the God complex. He should not be aloud to practice medicine

He should not be allowed to practice medicine !! I was a world class Cadillac technician (ranked 31) in the country when I injured my right shoulder . It took him 4 months to diagnose a completely torn triceps tendon and torn rotator cuff . By the time he made the diagnosis it was too late to repair .The muscle had retracted too much I talked to other surgeons beau they all said sorry but it was too late. I told him going in it felt like me triceps torn and was very weak! And I kept asking for mri but he refused and when he finally agreed I could see the damage from across the room on the screen !! I would not let him treat a cockroach !

I recently had a total knee replacement by Dr. Vo 2/2020. The outcome of the surgery was amazing. From the first day, they had me walk 50 feet and I encountered no pain at all! I’d also like to commend Jason, PA and Amanda J. (Clinical Reviewer) for their professionalism and helpfulness. Amanda consistently called to check on my condition to ensure their were no issues before, during and after the surgery. Many thanks to Dr Vo and his entire team!!

This was the second surgery performed on me by by Dr Vo. He was very professional, polite and did an excellent job on my knee replacement. Maybe he isn’t the best at bedside relations, but he is the best surgeon and I will continue to seek him out when needed. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is gonna be ok, call your mom. If you want the best surgeon...call Dr Vo.

Dr Vo is a horrible man!!DO NOT GO TO HIM!!Very rude dismissive of pain, asked nothing of how I had treated it, prejudicial-accused me of being narcotic dependent with just a little arthritis-at my visit 8/27 as his diagnosis of my recent LT shoulder pain. Even though in the 3 visits I've seen him haven't asked for pain relief other than injections and for him to diagnose what was wrong or order.other tests ad previously seen Dr. Vo as a consult for a knee replacement revision surgery and an issue with Rt Shoulder dislocation where he told me "your worse than a 90 yr old lady". I am far from a little old lady but am a fat 52 yr old former athlete who's had 11 sports/arthritis related surgeries on my ankle/both knees/shoulder and too many other injuries to mention. I've dealt with arthritis and fibro pain for more than 25 yrs so I know what that pain is vs what "something is very wrong" As a chronic pain patient with bad allergies and limited options for pain control am treatedjust anot

Did we have to wait? yes. Who cares when you want the best dr. for your daughter. Surgery went very well he spent a lot of time with us before explaining everything, I like the two PAs of his that I did meet Vishia and Jason. I do not mind seeing one of them when it is just a follow up appointment. My daughters recovery is going very well and it is all thanks to Dr. Vo and his team. Would absolutely recommend going to them for your ortho needs.

Well today was my husband’s first appointment, at 8:40. At 10:15 we left as we had not been seen yet. So I cannot evaluate Dr Vo personally but I can say that if he is that far behind that early in the morning, there is something seriously wrong there. What a total disappointment.

He’s very well versed in ortho problems. Bedside manner, not so much. Careful or you will get stuck with one of the many PAs. Bring a book to read, the wait time is crazy long.
