The reviews listed below were collected independently of Tidewater Orthopaedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Vess is an excellent doctor I highly recommend him. I had been in the medical profession myself for 30+. I trusted him performing surgery on me and I literally haven’t felt this great in 30 years no neck pain anymore no more numbness in my right arm. Others had said you don’t need surgery or here are some pills. I have my life back I no longer lay in my bed wishing pain away. I get to have a full life again and it’s only been 3 months from the day of my surgery. Don’t wait.
