About Our Regenerative Medicine Practice

Sikora Medical | Vero Beach, FL

Dr. Sikora opened her practice in July of 2017 to offer an integrative approach to treat the whole person. She grew up in the Northeast (NJ and CT) and moved to Vero Beach, FL, 2007 after completing her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at NY Presbyterian Hospital (affiliated with Columbia, Cornell, and the Hospital for Special Surgery) in New York City.

Prior to opening her own practice, she did both inpatient Rehabilitation Medicine and outpatient Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She decided to open her own practice in order to be able to take a more personalized approach to treating each patient. In addition to seeing patients at her own Vero Beach practice, she has inpatient privileges at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital as well as the position of Medical Director for a sub-acute rehabilitation hospital.

Testimonials

I have been with Dr. Gonsalves Sikora for over 5 years. She is the most wonderful and caring doctor. She listens to me and strives to find the best methods to help me with chronic pain. She is an angel and I thank God for her. She now has her own practice and I really like her new staff. Go see her if you suffer from pain and want a doctor who believes you and truly cares.

I can’t say enough about Dr Sikora! When I first met her I was totally disabled and barely walking without asístanse. With a slow progression and a very understanding doctor I can truly say I am living again. She is approachable, her staff is pleasant and competent and I never feel like I am a bother. In fact, it feels like I am the only one that matters when I need it most. She will help you regain your life, free of pain!

Dr Sikora is a very smart, kind, and compassionate doctor, who really tries to help resolve whatever issue you may have. She has helped me with my migraines and neck pain more than any other physician I have visited. She tries other methods - other than throwing more pills at you. Thank you, Dr. Sikora! I highly recommend Dr Sikora !

Dr. Sikora is an excellent, skilled physician who has helped me tremendously.Her office staff is nice, friendly and there's very little, if any, wait time for your appointment.
