I would like to start sharing our story with you from the very beginning, how we were first introduced to Dr. Brian Vickaryous.
Please meet Mary and Pete W., “We would travel the world for him, this is how much confidence we both have in him”.
I would like to start sharing our story with you from the very beginning, how we were first introduced to Dr. Brian Vickaryous.
In 2010, my husband Pete fell off a ladder onto hard concrete. We rushed him to the hospital, where Pete had to undergo emergency surgery to repair his shattered elbow. We met Dr. Hawks, a very pleasant doctor, at the hospital in Orlando, FL, and he worked in Orthopedic Traumatology alongside Dr. Vickaryous.
Around the same time, I started having more and more pain in my joints, and I was introduced to Dr. Vickaryous.
From there, Dr. Vickaryous replaced both of my shoulders, he replaced my right hip in 2016 and my left knee in 2017. All major joint replacement surgeries, which Doctor Vickaryous perfected wonderfully.
Unfortunately, in 2017 I was in a head-on car collision and taken to Sanford Hospital for more orthpedic surgeries due to the accident. I was not thrilled with the orthopedic on staff there, and followed up with Dr. Vickaryous afterwards. He had to redo parts of the surgery, he also performed a few other procedures.
More problems occured and I followed up with the hospital’s Orthopedic Traumatology department. I was heartbroken to learn that Dr. Vickaryous was no longer there at the hospital, and was not sure what I was going to do. I was devastated. He is the best!
I went on a quest to find him, and was not giving up until I would have found him. So, I started calling around and also checked with an acquaintance I knew from the hospital. I never stopped my search for him, until one day my online research brought me to Facebook and I found his page.
I can not tell you, how happy I was to have finally found Dr. Vickaryous again. The excitement in my voice when I started calling out for my husband sounded so elevated and emotional, that my husband Pete thought something happened. I shared the great news with Pete “I just found Dr. Vickaryous, he is joining Greater Orlando Orthopedic Group”, and we are both absolutely thrilled to have Dr. V back in our lives again.
I would travel the world for him, that is how much confidence we both have in him.
I have referred Dr. Vickaryous to so many people – friends, family and many others – that I know would benefit from his outstanding surgical expertise. Many of them had surgeries with Dr. Vickaryous already, and were also very happy with their experience and surgery outcome.
Mary and Pete, Thank You for sharing your wonderful story and testimonial with us!
