05/08/2024

Dr. Vasudeva was very professional and explained his opinions to me.

05/08/2024

Dr Vasudeva never rushed us and explained everything to us and listened intently. He answered everyone of our concerns and closed by asking if we had anymore questions before he left the room. He is an excellent doctor!!!

04/03/2024

Dr. Vasudeva is very easy to talk with and he explains what then why he recommends more testing. That is assuring to me and my husband. I thank him for this also.

03/04/2024

Was will to see me on short notice and spend time explaining situation with my back.

02/21/2024

None at the moment. Every thing was great

02/07/2024

I waited in his patient office for an additinal 40 plus minutes past my appt time. He spent maybe 5 minutes with me. All around bad experience.

01/31/2024

Good, clear information/ explanation about my particular concerns and questions. Personally recommended a neurologist.

He let me know that anytime I need to talk I can always call him for questions

12/28/2023

Absolutely

12/13/2023

10/10/2023

Good.

08/25/2023

He was very rushed, did not give me time to address all of my questions, treated me as if i shouldn't be in pain after back surgery. I thought all of my nurses were wonderful, hard working, and very compassionate. It's a shame when they want to help their patients feel better, but aren't allowed to by the doctor.

07/26/2023

Let me know that following up coming MRI begin treatment to help my back issues.

07/25/2023

My first time seeing the doctor i was really impressed

07/25/2023

They’re the best!

07/20/2023

Just needed a lil more information concerning my constant lower back pain

07/14/2023

Dr. V was very thorough in explaining what will take place during my surgery.

06/29/2023

I understand the Doctors are very busy. My experience throughout this process was frustrating. You need to Che k in 15 minutes before your appoint, a nurse generally brought you to an exam room at appointment time. The girst time I met with Dr V, was 45-60 minutes late for the appointment with no apology. For my April appointment, he had an emergency and I met with a PA. When we met 6/28,, he was 30-40 minutes late and never said I’m sorry to keep you waiting. I had friends under going very similar surgery to mine at the same time with GNS. They had multiple appointments with their surgeon and said the PA proactively reached out check on them… the messaging system was my lifeline to the process. Vanessa was very good at responding and running down my issues. I am sure that Dr V is an excellent surgeon, I wish there had been better communicators and he was more engaged in the post operative process.

06/15/2023

Excellent

05/02/2023

Doctor was very formative

04/29/2023

Awesome staff. Very sincere

04/07/2023

little better explanation/compassion during an office visit. I do appreciate him getting me admitted to hospital and keeping my pain under control before they did the surgery.

04/06/2023

Excellent and I wish all providers were the same

03/30/2023

02/25/2023

I appreciate Dr. Vasudeva taking the time to communicate with the rest of my medical team.

02/18/2023

My experience was really good, reminded me of the way that doctor's office used to be.

02/16/2023

I was very leary and had a lot of fear before coming but Dr. V was excellent and explained everything to me. He's done both my surgeries and thanks to him I can walk without excruciating pain and can do things for myself and play with my grandchildren
