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.

Phenomenal
Dr. Vilella did my total knee a week ago. 3 days out I was walking without assistive aids and doing great with ROM and strengthening. His office staff all the way to his team in the OR including anesthesia are the best! I would never consider going to anyone else!!

Dr. V-H performed my surgery 2012 in Miami Jackson Hospital. I was 60 years old. I am now 71 years old and still going! No one knows that I ever had hip and femur replacement. I was back to riding my horses AMA about nine months after surgery! I now live in Ocala and still riding/exercising my thoroughbred racehorses! He and God are phenomenal!! I have told many people over the years to try to have him to do their hip/knee, whatever, replacement!!!

I received a hip replacement from Dr Vilella. If I require the other hip (or knee issue) I wouldn’t want another surgeon.

Horrible bed side manners. No empathy, just a cold doctor. Anyone can have a bad day but this guy is a jerk. He doesn't want to take time to talk to you and explain. What happened to doctors that cared? They're not God's, this isnt the 80s

Dr. Hernandez listens, explains plainly, has a great manner and is very easy to talk too. All qualities every Doctor should have but unfortunately do not. I would highly recommend him.

Dr.Vilella is an excellent orthopedic, as a patient I always feel free to ask him anything related to my pain or procedure, he explained very clearly. He loves his patients, he is an excellent surgeon.
