Patient Reviews
Oct 03, 2024
Dr. Vivas removed a large tumor from my mom’s spine. Terrifying given everything that could go wrong. It was a complicated 8 hour procedure and he was able to get everything. He sat and explained everything to us after surgery, including all possible complications, next steps, and answered all of our questions. He was such an impressive, patient, and kind doctor. And apparently also an absolute rockstar. I don’t know how you properly thank someone for what he did for our family but if you ever see this Dr. Vivas thank you for taking such good care of my mom and for all that you do.
