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.

Wonderful Caregiver
I have been a patient of Dr. Vopal for over 20 years, after moving here from New Jersey. He is still today as he was back then , a truly gifted, compassionate and patient physician. He listens to all questions, and explains any concerns in simple language. Dr. Vopal is honest and passionate in his work and truly cares for each and everyone of his patients. To anyone seeking the greatest of care, Dr. Vopal offers that even beyond your expectations.

Dr. Vopal is a Godsend! He has the greatest bedside manner- never a visit without a hug. He is very caring & compassionate. I had to have a double mastectomy in 2014 and he is the absolute best doctor I have ever been to, period! My plastic surgeon was horrid (I was going through some major complications) and during Thanksgiving the plastic surgeon was going to be unavailable and Dr. Vopal said if you need me even if during Thanksgiving dinner call me and I will rush over to the office. I am so

Dr. Vopal is our Angel on earth. He saved my wife's life and we are now breast cancer survivors due to his skill in diagnosis, treatment, and care of breast cancer patients. I am indebted to him for literally keeping my wife alive to watch our children grow up, launch two small businesses with me, and because my wife is my soul mate. God bless you Dr. Vopal.

Doctor Vopal and his wonderful staff are like family to me, a welcoming home away from home! He saved my life seven years ago and I shall forever be indebted to him. He is not only the best surgeon in the world, but the kindest, most compassionate and caring man ever. His dedication to his profession is at a level rarely seen anymore. I would recommend Doctor Vopal to anyone who wants a terrific surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner.

Three months ago I was diagnosed with Melanoma. I was surprised and concerned. I was referred to Dr. Vopal by my dermatologist for immediate surgery. The Dr. has a calming presence, matter of fact approach, but most importantly understands the patient's state of mind. He cares about your fears and anxieties bringing a fabulous bedside manor to the table. His skills as a surgeon were remarkable. He has a seasoned staff, very accommodating - working me in to an already booked schedule. A pro!
