Dr. Redmond is an asset to any practice. He is a top notch Dr. but also a wonderful person that cares about his patients. He is one of my most favorite Drs ever and has been caring for me since 7/2008. Excellent!

John E Stavrakus, 102 Sum Mor Dr, West Columbia, SC
I went to Dr. Stavrakus for numbness in both feet. He recommended that I take Motor NCS and sensory EMG test which uses electrical shock testing waveforms. On my next visit I was under the impression that I would be talking to Dr. Stavrakus about the results of my tests. To my surprise I did not see the doctor but instead was put into a room with two young ladies.They suggested to me several shots in each ankle one or two times a week for 5 to 10 weeks called nerve blocks, which consists of shots of dextrose (corn syrup and water). They had a cart with the shots and ready to go.This was to "Relive my pain". I never told anyone on Vitalaty Medical staff that I had any pain. I have numbness in both feet which has no pain. I am also a diabetic and I think sugar water may be a bad thing for me. These injections are very expensive and are not covered by my insurance. After conferring with my family doctor, my opinion on Prolotherapy/Nerve Blocks is that it's a controversial form of therapy, and Vitality Medical try's to push it. I am sure glad I checked out Vitality Medical on line before I let them talk me into the shots.There was also some startling information about Dr. John Stavrakus on line when I did some research.Patient/ Buyer beware!

Dr. Terrance Major, 6102 Shallowford Rd., Suite. 101, Chattanooga, TN
Absolutely, hands down the best dentist I have ever had. I have been going to Dr. Major for close to two decades and can't say enough good things about him. Entire practice is top notch, friendly, efficient, and the very best care with never a long wait. Highly recommended!

David M. Lovit, DMD, 5115 Forest Drive, Columbia, SC
Did not have a good experience more than 3 times. I kept going because he is our family dentist. My family (immediate) did not have a problem with his service. Me on the other hand and a family friend both have. He cut my lip during a tooth filling and during the procedure he noticed it and neglected to inform me of a chunk of my lip missing. I noticed my injury when I got in my car. I confronted him about it and he acted as though he never seen it before, other perfectly fine teeth have been altered by him to fit his filling on other teeth, he continued to work on my tooth after I notified him that I was in pain (the medicine that he administered did not numb me completely). All of this has happened over the course of 5 years. Least to say I do not have any good ratings for him and this time I will not go back, neither will my family after seeing the injury to my lip and the fact that he was not considerate. If I could give him a rating lower than 1 I would. I am not a bitter ex-client, I am a client that has endured unnecessary treatment, lack of care, and injury over and over again and hope that this does not happen to anyone else.

keith raskin, 317 east 34 st, new york, NY
Dr. Raskin is the One!! last feb,. my then 14 year-old boy started to have pain in his right wrist, with no obvious injury, and with rest, pain med, he did not get any better but worse. after second mri in july, he was diagnosed with kienbock's disease and was put in cast. we were graciously recommended by our dr. to look for a more experienced surgeon for this condition. so from then and there, my family started a very long, hard and draining journey for a trustworthy surgeon to operate on my son for this rare but serious condition, esp. in a teenager. we covered pretty much all the renowned pediatric orthopedic facility on the east coast, including boston children's hospital, children's hospital of philadelphia, hss in nyc, and met with top pediatric orthopedics. unfortunately, each dr. had his own understanding of the condition and no two came up with the same surgery plan and none sounded even close to being assuring for his own plan. at one point we were told to go back and wait till the condition got worse enough for the very aggressive surgery at the next level. meanwhile my son, a very athletic kid and a competitive baseball player, was wearing the case from elbow down ( from the diagnosis in july till surgery in dec). frustration, exhaustion, desperation, helplessness, financial burden, missing school....all that doesnot even begin to describe what we went through.... untill in nov., right before thanksgiving, i was sitting in front of my computer, having exhausted all resources and feeling desperate, not knowing where to go next, when i got a phone call from dr. raskin's office that changed everything!! in no time, i found myself sitting with my son and dr. raskin in his office, settling down on his least aggressive, most assuring and convincing surgery plan with best postoperative prospect. dr. raskin, is god-sent!! he is very kind, patient, personable, understanding, warm. his office feels like a living room at a friend's house, very relaxing and welcoming. his assistant and staffs are very patient and attentive. above all this, dr. raskin is proved to be and stays as an experienced, top-notch surgeon in his field. in april this year, four months after the surgery, my son was cleared for sports and nowadays, he is pitching and in-fielding for baseball and dunking on basketball court. my family cant never thank dr. raskin enough!! we recommend him highly and without any reservation.

Fernando Navarro, 2 medical parkrd, Columbia, SC, 29203
My appointment today with Dr. Navarro was awful. Dr.Navarro is taking over Dr. Nottingham's patients & told me he didn't like going behind another physician's work & he had his patients too. Why agree to take on other patients if you don't go behind another physician’s work? He didn't read my chart before my appointment. He had the nerves to ask did I think he would take me to the operating room & haven't developed a rapport with me. I've completed so much testing for my condition & Dr. Navarro made me feel as I wasn't worthy of his time or GREAT health care because of my skin color. He figured he could tell me anything & I would go for it! The sad part of the entire visit, Dr. Navarre, keep telling me he would ensure I receive my$35 co-pay back. He arrived late to the appointment & wanted to spend 2 minutes with me to walk & head to his next patient. Dr. Navarro took an oath to provide health care to individuals but he only cares about you if your skin isn't brown/black. Please be mindful when you go see Dr. Fernando Navarro located at USC SURGERY 2 MEDICAL PARK STE 300 COLUMBIA, SC 29203.

Craig Ardie Smithed, 7201 Hanover Pkwy, Greenbelt, MD, 20770
This Dentist Dr Craig Ardie Smith SABOTAGE my “perfect” teeth for his financial gain... he CAN NOT be Trusted!!! He is a LIAR and a CROOK. He sold me a $500.00 mouth guard because he said I was grinding my teeth and that was a LIE... he just wanted the money; he grinned down two “PERFECTLY” great teeth for nothing just to put a crown on teeth so he can make money off his patients... it’s a DAYUM shame this man can not be Trusted because of MONEY!! Really? Put your patients first and your money will come through referrals. DO NOT Trust this man, you’ll be SORRY if u do

howard chasolen, wood street
“Follow-up After Talking With A Former Worker “ Dear Dr. Chasolen. As you know with all the discussions that we had, hopefully you can understand of my long and odious dental journey that you help put me on , and surly you knew that I had the expense of a total cost to me- starting from the university's cost for $14,000.00 plus Dr. Mish's cost of $11,800.00 and the $37,595.00 to your office ,and to date I have not a single red cent of receiving anything in workmanship nor any money back from you. plus the new cost of $27,000.00 for me to completely start all over again with another dentist, and yet another dentist to correct all of the mistakes at a cost of $29,000.00 so now with a grand total cost of $119,395.00 In all to me. I can not conceive how you must feel, of you departing an 81 year old veteran of $37,595.00 and stalling this case of my going back and forth to your office for two years, and aprox.30 visits at 80 miles per. visit -totaling over 2,500 miles and in very early morning travel (6:00 Am and on several return trips in heavy 5:00 Pm traffic as well) I think in all fairness, I was concerned of you having to pay a fee to the lab in California that you used. -and I offered to sign an affidavit to them in stating that the ten times that they could not get their work right, and that we were not going to accept the unit- as I didn't want them to charge you for the shoddy work that they were doing-time after time, and you said not to worry- as it's being sent back to them, and that they would then realize that you would not be charged at all for it, so instead you were able to keep all the money that I paid to you. I recently met a former worker of yours at the mall and I was told that all your office workers really felt bad for what you were putting me through- and how awful for what you did. I am asking at this time- in all fairness- again- if you would honor a financial adjustment for me ,as if I received a total completion of the work that you started- and if you didn't receive any money – I am sure it would not be fair to you- if you successfully completed my case, and not being paid, you would not like it. You did offer me any models , molds or anything that I may have needed for a new dentist, but I was told that dentist don't really want to use other dentist plans and case items. Please give me a call, an email- or perhaps to meet, and as I mentioned before "that I don't have sour grapes with you" and would be pleased to meet with you if you prefer. I would like to make mention of the $7,000.00 implant cost of Dr. Scott's implant crown- plus the initial cost for you to remove the crown ,as the lab could not line up their work with it, and in all fairness it was damaged at your office by your assistant that chipped it while trying to remove the temp. “Surprising for the two years of my treatments at your office ( you probably worked on my case for about 3 solid hours if any” And that is why it was a total failure, as you did not show any interest for the very complicated case that you stated -when you made me make payment of the $37,595.00 in full long before any work was ever done. You stated to me that it would be better if we removed that $7,000.00 crown to make the lab do their work with less effort, But you charged me $3,000.00 to remove the crown that was chipped at your neglect to removing the temp. unit correctly in the first place. and in closing I did spend an awful lot of unnecessary money- "and I thank God" for not having that additional cost when you sent me to your friend Dr. Ferris- who wanted a ridiculous amount of money for an unnecessary gum graft- and for the sum of $20,900.00- and Dr. Mish laughed and said that I did not need any such gum graft, and the cost to me from your friend Dr. Ferris to tell me of that,- was an additional charge to me for $200.00 Respectfully .

howard chasolen, 2033 wood st., sarasota, FL, 34237
I would like to do another review for Dr. Howard Chasolen: Especially Of my serious mistake of going to Dr. Howard Chasolen in the first place,as I was given a referral to have the extensive ,serious and precision work that I needed, "BUT the referral was given to me as to see Dr. Chasolen" -and when I googled to find the address- I confusingly went to Dr. Howard Chasolen,not realizing that there was in fact a Dr.Ginger R Chasolen unbeknown to me as the google search just showed Dr.Howard Chasolen's address. However- When I did see Dr.Chasolen- I Questioned him as to the two names being the same -and if they are working together? He responded by saying they were married at one time -and that she should not be using his name in a profession manner- as was supposed to be from the final decree, so I assumed I was at the right address and with the right Dr. I still- "to date after making several requests and attempts to have him return the dental model,molds, and most importantly the failed screw-in inferior 12 unit bridge that he still has -But earlier in the game of the misleading events he stated not to worry that he was sending it back to the (Discounted ) lab located in California for a full refund- as they failed on the 10 attempts to make the unit -even though they kept on making the ten same mistakes over and over. Truth of The Matter is -that he no longer has it (but he told me on one occasion that he did not send it back and that he still has it trying to make me believe that the Lab kept all the money in which was part of the $38,190.00 that I paid to him long before the lab work was ever started. So in reality -the Lab got the shoddy work back and minus any of my money "as should be for their mistakes" So again learn from my epic mistake, that I unfortunately made and do not ever give 100% of the dental bill before the work is ever started ,and do diligence including where the lab is located, and please do not let 95% of the work ever be performed by an assistant "and to go on for 2 yrs." the assistant did do nice work -but my work needed full time by Dr.Chasolen -And shame on me for not doing as -the 5 dentist that I paid for on 5 different consultations- and that they could not do the work that I so desperately needed but said most importantly" in telling me to seek only a Prosthodontist to attempt the work that I needed" Dr. Misch that did all my extensive front bone graft and implants- stated to me that his wife is a Prosthodontist and that she could not take on such a endeavor, let alone a assistant do the 95% of my case that took 2 years and turned out to be a disaster and never any attempts to correct my issues, even them chipping a 1 yr. old molar crown,while being treated at Dr. Chasolen's office -and Dr. Chasolen having the gumption to charge me $3,000.00 to remove the chipped crown as he stated would make the lab wk.easier.I also paid $550.00 twice for a guide that was lost in Dr. Chasolen's possession. In short really I received "Sub-Treatment From My 2 yr.old nightmare"
