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.

Caring & Thorough
I immediately felt at ease and in good hands with Dr. Vasilev and his staff and nurse practitioner. He took time to explain the surgery to me and was very thorough, allowing me time to ask all the questions I had and answered my concerns. The surgery was a success and the recovery was amazingly short and almost pain free! In comparison to the previous abdominal surgery I had which had a very long recovery time that included a LOT of pain. I feel very comfortable recommending Dr Vasilev and feel very fortunate to have had him as my surgeon.

I am blessed to have Dr. Steven Vasilev. He is a compassionate medical professional who surrounds himself with a great team. I had robotic surgery and my healing is going very well. He continues to direct my ongoing after surgery treatment program and for that I am immensely grateful.
