Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been going to Dr. Vickers for years. I even hunted him down when he left SSM. He is very personable, understanding, caring and will be straight forward with you. He listens to you and is always there to help,whether it's giving a call or sending a message on the portal. I recommend him to everyone I know. I'm glad I found him again.

First visit with Dr. Vickers he took a great deal of time to discussed my health concerns and over all expectations from him. I like that he takes into account you life style and overall everyday activities to not put unrealistic pressures on improving quality of life in an already busy daily schedule.

Dr. Vickers doesn't rush you and takes the time to listen, which of course is very important in order to make a proper diagnosis. He takes time to explain things to you and entertain any questions that you have. He's also very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. He also messaged me via the portal right away regarding any test results. It was my first visit, and it was overall a great experience.

Would not recommend. Had mixed experiences. Gave some good general practice advice. However, he was not very sympathetic towards you as the patient. Pretty quick to write prescriptions. I always felt that the practice must be getting a cut.

Best doctor I have ever had. Dr. Vickers has been treating me for over fifteen years. I feel like I have lost a lifelong friend - How can you possibly replace someone who know your history - his replacement doctor is average at best. - Looking for a new primary - if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Horrible, I had to see him because my doctor is out of town and I have bronchitis that will not go away. I told him how my usual doctor has been treating it, antibiotics and using a nebulizer. All of the information Dr. Vickers gave me was completely inaccurate and honestly could be very detrimental to someones health if they actually listened to him. None of it matched with what doctor had ever reccomended, and he told me it was only allergies and that I should stop using my nebulizer and only use my inhaler, even though the nebulizer has been the only thing to help. He did not listen to me whatsoever, disregarded any of my symptoms or concerns, gave me false information, and it was overall a complete waste of time. I don't reccomend that anyone sees him.

Best Dr. I ever had. He was very caring and knowledgeable always took the time to answer any questions I ever had. Was very sad as was my daughter and my son-in-law when he left ssm. Was almost like we lost a family member.

I’ve seen Dr V for the better part of 20 years . I can say that on 2 occasions he has probably saved my life . Though direct, he can really put himself in the patient’s place and hurt when you hurt . If you need results I would highly recommend him.
If you want to be stroked, he might or might be the doctor for you ,
Highly recommended for the executive, results oriented patient

Dr. Vickers can be flippant at times. He has said a few inappropriate remarks to me, but I’ve chosen to ignore them. I have decided to find another doctor who shows a bit more compassion and understanding.
