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.
Terrible bedside manner, confusing, rude, and rushed. I'm not usually one to complain, but this doctor needs a wake-up call. He's dealing with sick people who need a doctor to not speak down to them and explain what's happening without the sarcasm. Even if a condition isn't life threatening and he's seen 500 patients dealing with this illness, it's good to remember for the patient, its the FIRST time we are dealing with this illness. It might be 'old hat' to him, but it's our life. Treat the patients with a little more care!

I have had issues with a fast heartbeat ever since I was a child. I went to quite a few cardiologists but no one ever took the time to sit down and research my heart issues. Finally in 2017, I found Dr. Vivian and I had a laser ablation which has enabled me to go back to living a full and enjoyable life. I have come across some folks who have had the same problem and I never hesitate to suggest they see Dr. Vivian. He is dedicated to his patients.

From diagnoses of my condition, to explanation of treatment options including associated risks, through detailed execution of the corrective procedure and caring follow-up, Doctor Vivian greatly surpassed my expectations. Without hesitation, I would place my wife, children, and grand-children under his care.

The care and treatment I received while a patient of Dr. Vivian was outstanding from the start and based on 2 follow-up visits so far it has continued to be excellent, not only from Dr. Vivian but his staff as well.
I feel very lucky that my cardiologist referred me to him.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Vivian?
Dr. Vivian has been my doctor almost two years. I have been very satisfied with the care that I have been given. The thing that has impressed me most about him is the fact that he will not stop until he is 100 percent satisfied that everything possible has been done for his patients, Dr. Vivian is a perfectionist, and as a patient, I find much comfort in that fact. I feel very fortunate to have him as my cardiologist/electrophysiologist. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
