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.

An amazing doctor!!!
Our daughter has been a patient of Dr. Vilela for over 10 years now. We just love him!! He performed Cochlear Implant surgeries and all went perfectly fine! Now days, many doctors just want to spend 3-5 minutes with a patient and go to the next patient. But not him, during an appointment, he would ask several times if there are any questions and won’t leave until he’s sure all questions have been answered. We recommend him 100%.

Best of the Best
We sought the best of the best regardless of travel or cost. Dr. Vilela was recommended after a failed procedure resulting in hearing loss and damaged ear drum from a different surgeon in a different group. We were not even scheduled with Dr. Vilela when we met him. His colleague asked if he could meet with us. He found time in his schedule to discuss a different approach only a few surgeons were performing. Our daughter was the oldest on the schedule that day, therefore, last. Dr. Vilela came out after a full day in the OR and spent time with us to go over the difficult surgery details and findings. We never felt rushed, and he answered all of our questions. We have had two follow-ups since. Today he saw my daughter before another full day in the OR. After today's exam, we received the news the surgery was a success. Not only is he an extremely skilled surgeon, he has great bedside manners and spends the necessary time with his patients. We are grateful for his efforts!!

I’ve had many visits with Dr. Vilela and he’s always kind, knowledgeable and direct. He has performed 2 CI surgeries on my daughter and they both have gone very smoothly. I couldn’t be happier having him as my daughter’s ENT Dr.
