Reviews of Dr. Darius Viskontas (Doctor)

Mike D

Excellent work from an excellent doctor. I couldn't have been easy to put back together (I was in a serious accident), but he did a wonderful job. Good sense of humour, too, which is more important than some doctors realise.

So grateful for Dr. V! As a "morbidly obese" woman on the Cattch 22 wheel - too heavy for surgery but unable to lose weight as I needed the surgery - I was just getting heavier. Dr. V took the chance to operate on me (thus breaking the cycle), and what an excellent job he did. Even the nurses that tended me commented on the incision, saying it looked like Dr. V's work. The incision is neat, the staples uniform and as minimally obvious as possible and best of all. I had no infection! In the past 30 years, every surgery I have had resulted in a serious and drug resistant infection! Every single surgery. This was the first surgery in decades that did not in an infection. I'm so grateful! A well-respected surgeon with empathy, integrity.and a well-deserved pride in his work. I highly recommend Dr. Viskontas. .

Darius treated my son and performed surgery on his broken humerus in October 2018. The care, treatment, and compassion we received from Darius was outstanding. I also recently saw Darius again for a broken calcaneus I suffered in a fall, and once again Darius was attentive, courteous and professional. The office always seems busy with many patients waiting to be seen. In both instances, with my son, and now myself, Darius took the time to answer any questions we had about our injury’s. Not at anytime did we feel rushed or feel ushered out of the room in order for them to quickly see other patients. Darius is really a caring Doctor that truly cares for the well being and health of his patients moving forward after their injury’s .

About 5 years ago, I had a multi-ligament knee injury which included my ACL, MCL, LCL, tibial fracture and meniscus tears. I had completely dislocated my knee from a dirt bike accident. After going to Langley Memorial, then over to Surrey Memorial, I ended up being referred to Dr. Viscontas at Royal Columbian. Because of the complexity of the injury, I was referred to Dr. Viscontas by Surrey Memorial's most senior orthopedic surgeon Dr.Jackson. During my first visit with Dr. Viscontis, it became clear that he was an expert in his field specializing in reconstruction. he is sought after by athletes who sustained severe knee injuries, including a BC Lions player who had a career-ending knee injury similar to mine. Dr. Viscontas was patient, he was informative, and he really set expectations clearly. Because of the complexity of my injury, there is a very high failure rate, in my case he had to book a second orthopedic surgeon Dr. Trevor Stone, who is also one of the top notch orthopedic surgeons in British Columbia At this point I'm one of the lucky ones who found Dr.Viskontas.

After 13 knee arthroscopies by other surgeons, Dr Viskontas did a total knee replacement. Best surgeon I have ever seen. It was a complex surgery and he did an excellent job. He was patient, polite and explained the entire process. He genuinely cared for me as a patient and the end results which were fabulous. Each and every follow up he was as pleasant as the first time I met him. I owe this man a lot and cannot thank him enough, too bad this calibre of surgeons are few and far between. Thanks Dr Viskontas !

After a major car accident I had multiple injuries including tib/fib fracture in both legs and fractures in both hips that all required complex surgery. There was consideration to amputate right leg and Dr. Viskontas saved it. Incredibly skilled and very good at communicating.

I saw Dr. Viskontas after the wait period was toio long with my regular surgeon. He and his staff we're amazing. I was on the cancellation list and got in a couple weeks after seeing him. I had my right knee totally replaced and was back playing hockey 6 months later, It was a life saver for me. A big time saver was getting my MRI privately. It took 2 days.

Such a caring down to earth Doctor. He really listens to my concerns and that definitely earns my respect. Certainly grateful he is my orthopedic surgeon. Wouldn't change that for anyone else.

Paul Thompson

This guy is an expert! He shares information with patients and lets you know that it's your body. 5 stars isn't enough.

Paul Adams

Ok i have had many hip surgeries within the last 3 yrs. Dr Viskontas was the only Dr that agreed that I needed a full replacement. It has been 6 weeks since the replacement and all I can say is WOW this guy changed my life. I now have my life back even with not being fully recovered but my pain is finally subsiding and I can function somewhat normal. This man is by far one of the best Drs I have ever seen. I highly recommend Dr Viskontas to anyone that is in need of a miracle. He gave me my lifestyle back. 5 stars+ 5 more.

Dr. Viskontas is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable orthopedic surgeons I have ever encountered. Orthopedic surgeons generally are notorious for being mean, abrupt, arrogant but he has the experience/skill of a surgeon and the personality of a pediatrician. You can't get any better than him. The lovely lady who works at reception (Caucasian lady with glasses - shoot I forget her name) is patient and very helpful despite being busy and bombarded with many ppl asking questions since shes right next to the door, and his residents are kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We were assisted by the lovely female physician with black rimmed glasses and Muslim scarf (I forget her name) - if I knew the name of her program director I would like to offer my compliments!

Broke my lower tib fib in 5 places. First surgery went unsuccessful with the first surgeon. After 8 months of discomfort I met Dr. V and had total trust in him. He had to re-do everything and did a fantastic job. This man gave me my life back. I am eternally grateful.
