Anand Vora's Online Review Report Card

He’s a horrible doctor he messed my foot up. He also wouldn’t release MY surgical notes to me which is a HIPPA Violation!

I went to see dr.vora for my left ankle that I injured years ago. I am 31 and was told that I developed pretty bad osteoarthritis and dr. Vora suggested that i should get orthoscopic surgery to clean out my ankle. It’s been a little over a year since the surgery and I can gladly say that it was definitely worth it. My ankle hasn’t felt this good in 8 years. I no longer come home from work in throbbing pain and my ankle no longer stiffness up after sitting down for long periods of time. This surgery has given me more time before other measures are needed to help with the pain. One thing I appreciated about dr.vora is that he did not Sugar coat my injury and told the truth about what to expect in the future with my injury Seeing that I am still young and my ankle will continue to get worse.

If stars represent how awful my life has been since that awful ankle replacement , you should get them all!! 3 years in a wheelchair two more with a walker and now a cane. Two years of opioids, then 6 months to get off them and thru it all unbelievable pain, yep, now I use a cane, crippled, hurting, embarrassing, so,,, its 5 stars for you, 5 stars for every bit of pain discomfortand regret anyone could ever have. MAYBE ,, THATS WHAT YOUR STARS REALLY STAND FOR.?????

AWFULL, AWFULL, & AWFULL !!!!!

Excellent!

He looks over the ct scan and xrays to determine if I can walk in the boot. It has been 20 weeks

Dr Vora is always upbeat, never makes me feel like I'm wasting his time, and open minded about treatments. His surgical side is the same. I had no problems post surgery yet he remained approachable, welcoming questions and giving follow up care. I highly recommend him!

Horrible experience. This doctor has an ego complex that sadly affects patient care. As a healthcare provider myself, I would not recommend him for anything other than straight forward orthopedic injuries. UPDATE:. I saw a new surgeon who took standing x-rays of both feet and said they completely collapsed in 3 planes. I'm being fitted for braces, and eventually will need fusions of both feet. He said all the inflammation control in the world can't help this. "I have no words for that surgeon" as he shook his head. Dr Vora has no time or patience for complex care. I have severe inflammatory arthritis that has been resistant to treatment over the past 6 years. As a result I have had many spinal fusions and joint surgeries. I am also a primary care practitioner. My mid foot on both feet began to collapse due to the arthritis (that has been treated aggressively by my rheumatologist). The first appointment, Dr Vora states the joint collapsed and that surgery would be painful with a long recovery but likely successful if a test steroid injection worked. We decided to begin with steroid injections and see if pain would resolve. It did, completely. Second follow up he stated that the injection was definitive in proving the pain was solely a result of the joint issue. He stated he would do serial joint injections frequently (as soon as every 3-6 months) to avoid surgery. Short lived relief brought me in for a second injection so I made an appointment weeks in advance. The office messed up my appointment time then become very rude, the MA stating she specifically recalls the time and date of my appointment several weeks ago (???). With 30 years experience in medicine, I would imagine she's has had contact with at least a few hundred patients (10-20/day x 20 days) and she remembers our conversation specifically. That's a superpower and way more talent than I will ever have. I got in due to a last minute cancellation and Dr Vora was rude, short with me, and stated "surgery will not take all your pain away. I do not recommend it." I reminded him of our previous visits, complete resolution of my pain post injection, and his own evaluation of my condition. I asked him why he even brought it up as I was not there for a pre-op, just a steroid injection so I could walk without severe pain that was radiating all around the area. He aggressively states "you need to get inflammation under control and this injection won't take the pain away, neither will surgery." Perplexed, I say I'm on a biologic and Otezla, have kept an antinflamatory diet, etc. He says "I don't know what those drugs are, you need to decrease inflammation". This doctor is treating patients with rheumatology conditions and doesn't know the mechanism of action of common pharmaceutical agents used in treatment of arthritis. He could've just asked what they do, and I would've gladly told him but that would require humility. I felt that he was condescending throughout the entire visit. Within 2 days of the injection, my pain, radiating and all was gone, completely. I began looking for a different provider immediately because, thank goodness, we have choices. I will proudly say that in 30 years I have never had a patient tell me they've had anything less than an excellent experience. It is my privilege to care for patients, it's not a patients privilege to be cared for by me. I'll keep my philosophy, and this doctor (as well as a few select staff) can keep their God complex. FYI the PA's are amazing here and the reason why I stayed for several years at this practice.

Dr. Vora has an excellent manor with his patients he took his time explaining what needed to be done and why. Then the week of surgery he called me to review the procedure making sure I understood what to expect. Dr. Vora’s PA Matt called me the day after surgery making sure there were no issues. I would recommend Dr. Vora for issues of the foot.

I practiced 38 years as a chiropractor always trying to find the best orthopedic doctors to refer my patients to who needed orthopedic foot care. Dr. Vora always exceeded my expectations for patients with great results. I recently, needed a subtalar fusion and he informed me in detail of what to expect. 7 weeks out after surgery my improvement is exactly what he said it would be. Dr. Vora is great. Thanks Doc.
