Dr Vyas listened to what I said and explained very clearly what he believes is going on with my shoulder. And his explanation matched up exactly with the symptoms I have been having.

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.

Appreciated the extra time spent from PT. I had some difficulty adjusting my brace. She did a great job educating and training me on best practices.

Dr. Vyas and Dr. Lott both took time to try and figure out the best next move for my treatment plan.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/18/2024
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.

I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Vyas as my doctor and surgeon. I trust him, he has always taken the time to make sure I understand my care. He is professional, courteous, honest and thorough. I will recommend both Dr. Vyas and his team at UPMC to anyone with needs in that field.
