Quick and painless! His staff was very warm, welcoming, and happy to help! He actually read through my medical history (which I faxed to the office) to future understand my needs. He listened to me and never seemed rushed. Over all I loved my time at the doctors today! How many people can honestly say that?

Dr. Via is great. He's very understanding of the challenges that come with endocrinological diseases, not judgmental and incredibly helpful. I would recommend him to ANY diabetic (I'm Type 1, and he's incredibly knowledgeable about all of my issues vs. Type 2) or anyone else who has thyroid or metabolic issues.

I've been seeing Dr. Via for several months to treat my Grave's Disease. He's very friendly and knowledgeable and always listens to what I have to say--he takes my goals for and concerns about my treatment into consideration. I think he's a great doctor and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Dr. Via was amazing. I've been cynical, because I was seeing another doctor for Graves Disease and was severely undertreated for a year. Dr. Via walked in and took one look at me and immediately opened up. He saw I was in distress and right away was looking for solutions, explaining to me just what exactly my body was doing but what got me was that he was so empathetic. He said he understood how awful I've been feeling, and that's really what I needed. To be validated. Its hard to say you're not feeling well when you don't look it. I went 6 months without a blood test or sonogram, and Dr Via did both in less than an hour. I can't tell you how much better I feel just knowing that he is taking action. Finally. I just wish I didn't want to rave about him so much because I want to keep him to myself. :)

I'm not 100% with a recommendation yet for Dr. Via, since this was my first visit and I will need some time to decide if he is the endocrinologist for me. However, I will say that Dr. Via was running late, but spent as much time with me as I needed and I didn't feel rushed. I asked all the questions I needed and he spent all of the time that I required to give me clear and concise information.

Dr. Via is one of the best endocrinologists I've seen in my life, and I've had about 10 of them. He's extremely friendly and doesn't make you feel guilty like a lot of endocrinologists do. Highly recommended, especially to anyone with diabetes between the age of 10 and 40.

Absolutely no concern for the patient or follow-up. After seeing this doctor, he left a message with my test results(which required follow up care)and then never responded to multiple messages left directly on his voicemail. He is non-communicative and non-responsive and I would NEVER recommend seeing him if you value your health.

This is the kind of doctor one is very happy to recommend. Outstanding. He looked and listened carefully to everything relevant about me. He gladly answered all my questions -- efficiently and precisely. And he also provided the kind of advice and encouragement that sent me away well-informed and motivated to prevent problems and promote my own health and well-bring through lifestyle aspects. This includes good guidance for nutrition (in which Dr. Via is specially trained) and exercise.

He was very professional and listened to my concerns. He left me a vm RE my test results, which was great. The wait time, however, was pretty awful -- at least an hour. The nurse who drawn my blood was talking and laughing with another person by the doorway at the same time...

Dr. Via is awesome! He was very professional, took time to speak with me about my health concerns and provided me with a coupon for a new medication. Be prepared to wait a while, especially around lunch time.
