Dr. Vivino is sooo incredibly rude. She talked down to me the whole time. She was very short and rude. I highly HIGHLY recommend not seeing her. We're all people and she treated me like I was nothing to her. Horrible, horrible.

This doctor has no patience or bedside manners. I had to tell her several times to have patience with me. It was so bad I almost walked out of her office. I personally would not seek treatment with this doctor. Do yourself a favor and find a doctor who is patient and kind! Good luck!

Dr. Vivino is one of the finest doctors whom I have ever had work with me. When I first went under her care I was in pretty bad shape, but with her careful, gentle and superior care I am back to nearly 100%. I am most appreciative of her faithfulness and dedication to my situation. David Justice

Poor patient rapport. I felt like I was being interrogated. She seemed to want quick answers rather than thoughtful & accurate ones. Not recommended.

Dr. Vivino spent almost 2 hours with me. That's absolutely unheard of these days with a doctor. She was so thorough, and asked so many questions. I felt listened to, and taken seriously. She wanted every bit of information possible. She is sending me out for some imaging and blood work and is covering all bases in diagnosing me. Her staff is just as incredible. From making the appointment to interacting with them once I arrived, they are top notch. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Vivino.

This woman is one of the worst Drs. I have ever encountered. She miss diagnosed me which resulted in a long drawn out treatment. She tried diagnosing me with MS. I tried to discuss my concerns about LYME DISEASE with her, but she refused to discuss and treat prophetically. Imaging showed lyme lesions on my brain but she chose to disregard stating that my test showed that I didn't have it. The blood testing for this illness is highly unreliable which I told her but again she wouldn't listen to the concerns that I had. Finally I was able to get a second opinion from a doctor who agree that I did have LYME DISEASE no MS. I got the proper treatment and guess what I GOT BETTER!!!! This doctor doesn't really care about your health. She care about her paycheck and her opinion. By the way after proper treatment my brain lesions went away! BE AWARE!!

Dr. Vivino is very caring. She was very insightful about my condition and helped me get my life back again. I would recommend her to my friends. I will continue under her care.
