Dr Viking is top in her field. I had a sinus surgery that went very badly and developed meningitis and a 5 days hospital stay. I was referred to Dr. Vining to evaluate my condition which required a 2nd surgery. The 2nd surgery went very well and I was able to move on again with my life. She’s amazing and I would highly recommend her as a first line of defense or a consultation of needed. 🥇
