I found Dr. Vickers to be attentive, quick to comprehend, interested in my problem and serious, with a modicum of humor. The kind of person you would love to have dinner with.

I would like warn others to not use this doctor. I saw him for three years and he gave me 14 different diagnosis. I could not walk and was using an electric wheelchair to get around. He did not care to send me for any consults at other locations such as Mayo. He said he did not know what I had but what was he supposed to do, close his practice and attend to me? He said I did not have Parkinson’s or Huntington’s Chorea. He sent me to Dr. Hussey for pain management which consisted of meeting briefly in a dank and carpet stained office to be prescribed increasingly stronger opiates and muscle relaxers. My endocrinologist in Sarasota said I looked horrible and set me up with appointment at Mayo. He said I deserved to feel better. Mayo was not sure as was the University of Miami. Finally, I saw a movement disorder specialist at USF. She said I had Parkinson’s Disease and needed a Deep Brain Stimulator. I was fast tracked at the University of Florida’s Center for Movement Disorders and Neurorestoration for a Deep Brain Stinulator implantation. I tested out as a perfect candidate. I have idiopathic Parkinson Disease and with the DBS can walk now. This is a far cry from Dr. Vickers who told to get my affairs in orders and just sit around reading cookbooks. Basically give up. I think he is cruel in his operation of his EMG studies because the room is ice cold with nothing but an ice cold table to lie on. In state of the art hospitals which I only attend now, they get the best readings with the patients limbs warmed with warming blankets and a gentle touch. Dr. Vickers stabbed my quadriceps with the measuring needle and drew blood and bruising. When I yelped, he said, “that didn’t hurt me”. What kind of doctor talks like this? In closing, I trusted this doctor for 3 years.The pain and suffering I endured was inhumane. He never had any intention of trying help me discover what my illness was. During the period I saw him, I had jury duty come up. I asked if he could write an excusal letter due to my extreme pain. He wrote the excusal begrudgingly as if I was just trying to get out of jury duty. How unkind! I don’t know if he is just in the business to make money, but somewhere along the line he lost his humanity. I would recommend using a fine medical community in Gainesville at the University of Florida. They truly care and want to help.

Doctor did not care about my health once a few test came back negative. He basically said there is nothing he can do for me and then the nerves to ask that he wanted to see me in 3 weeks. He only cares about the money instead of healing patients. What a shame.

Dr Vickers is caring for my 76 year old Mother who suffers from some cognition problems. He is very knowledgable, spends time listening to the patient's narrative, explains things clearly and has a great sense of humor. All around a very refreshing experience. You may have to wait a bit to see him but it is worth it since he spends whatever time is necessary to get all issues addressed and all questions answered.
