"Vest is the worst doctor i've been to... They think that having exrays done and giving you expensive steroid and anti Inflammatory shots will take care of your pain. The shots did absolutely nothing and they charged $4000.00 for the shots."
— RateMDs"Have been treated for two broken bones and 2 knee replacements. Could not give higher praise. If you have a problem it's 'come in now' not 'we can get you in next week'."
