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. Vale performed my surgery for epilepsy in 2006. He was very easy to talk to, and he is an amazing surgeon. He's the best!

I had a temporal lobe craniotomy resection on March 8 2018 by Dr Vale for seizures. I was so scared of having surgery but he reassured me of the outcome of it all and always took time to explain everything and answer all my questions as well as my family's. Since my surgery I have had no seizures and my recovery is going great . I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone He is such a gifted doctor.

I would like to thank Dr. Vale on the successful surgery he gave me with controlling my seizures. A very compassionate person who puts care and concern to his patients (that means the most to a patient when you can have this kind of trust). I would gladly recommend him to ones who want to make this decision. Thanks for changing my life for me!!
