Dr. Kenneth Patrick Vives, MD

I had to follow up with Dr. Vives regarding a head injury and the resumption of blood thinners. He was caring, informative, cautious. I feel privileged to have gotten into this office as they are probably the best neurosurgeons in the area. The wait time in the office was minimal and the rest of the staff was pleasant.

A tad abrasive at first but excellent at explaining my problems and which treatments would benefit me.

Dr. Vives was great listened to me and explained everything. Answered my questions and he is taking a conservative approach he did not jump to surgery. I highly recommend him.

This was the WORST experience I have ever had with a doctor. I wish that I could give him zero stars in every category. This guy is rude, insensitive, and talks down to you. I implore you. Do NOT go to this unfeeling poor excuse of a man never mind doctor.

One of the widest gaps to fill in my experience (sadly enough I have a great deal of it....) with neurosurgeons is the knowledge/explanation gap. Dr. Ken Vives did a great job of eloquently explaining and simplifying the various scenarios pre and post surgery that made me and my family feel incredibly at ease. *Surgery was a success of course.

Dr Vives: I dont feel you have the compassion towards this perticular patient,Here we had a 26 year old with c/p. That was going in for a Baclofen pump. Knowing the parent had alot of concerns. Now one week later my son has a fever of unknown source. Did we hear from you? No Did you come to see him in E.D. No you sent a lacky. I am very disppleased and as far as my son I sure hope that he gets better. All that we wanted from you is to acknowldige us or him.
