        Since our initial consult with Dr. Vyas, we have felt so comfortable with trusting him to care for our daughter. During this appointment, he was patient with our daughter, answered her questions, and gave her the feedback needed to give her the confidence to start PT. So far, Dr. Vyas has exceeded our expectations and we look forward to seeing our daughters progress under his care.

        I was not happy with how the doctor handled my situation. I felt like I was just "another patient"That wasn't going to bring him any money surgically so his encounter with me was brief and he was not understanding or empathetic to my personal situation and my concerns. He was very matter of fact and cold. I felt as if I wasn't being heard at all.

        The surgeon did not ask me any questions about how I was doing after hip surgery. I barely got one question in before he left the room. I had to ask his nurse for clarification on multiple things because the doctor didn't bring the subjects up or allow me to ask about them. Major things about whether or not I should continue wearing a brace, when I can go back to work, etc.
