One (of only two) very best surgeons I ever met in my very long life..Unusually warm,compassionate and caring..Removed my huge stomach carcinoma without any complications and provided excellent post op care.She is just wonderful. I can highly recommend her without any reservations.She has a great team-her two nurses,Morgan and Nicole, are very supportive.

Absolutely one of the best, as a great surgeon and as a human being. I took my dad to visit Dr. Strong. She took time and looked my dad's case in great details, and explained everything so clearly and respectfully. She is caring and compassionate.

My mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer and doctor Vivian Strong did the gastorectomy surgery. She explained everything is detailed to us. Had great bed side manner and follow ups. My mom loved her as a doctor and as a human being. Will definitely recommend her.

Dr. Strong is a unique surgeon. She is deeply skilled as a surgeon, but just as important she is caring, compassionate, and an excellent communicator. She helped me understand the options for my surgery, completed a difficult operation without complications, and guided me through my recovery. I trust her completely and recommend her without any reservation.
