The reviews listed below were collected independently of Tidewater Orthopaedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Seems to not listen to his patients issues just what’s on his referral paper work. When trying to correct him, he doesn’t listen. Seems very inexperienced.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr. Vess performed my two-level cervical disc replacement surgery, and everything went exactly according to plan. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to ensure I felt confident throughout the process. My surgery and recovery have gone very well, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vess for any orthopedic needs.
