Claude J • September 04, 2026

Amazing provider! I went to "another" provider back in February for the same issue, and will never return after visiting Dr Vazales. He and his staff were truly great. Very attentive, & professional. I won't hesitate returning to this practice for any other future needs. My only regret is not finding out about this practice sooner.

Receptionist welcoming and very professional. Dr. Vazales very thorough. He explained what my problem was and what he would do to take away the pain. He also said it would return. He is very thorough, very knowledgeable and has great caring personality.

Kyle C • July 29, 2026

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Vazales . He treated my 11-year-old son, who is recovering from stitches, and was exceptional from start to finish. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure my son, my husband and I all understood the treatment plan. His bedside manner was outstanding— It's clear that he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in providing excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Vazales.

Cooper H • July 15, 2026

The best experience I could ask for. Dr. V explains everything to you so you understand it all and know exactly what's going on, why and what needs to be done to fix it. Fast & pain free. Dr. V is great!

Jule A • July 10, 2026

I met with Dr. Vazales ("Dr. V") recently for an initial consultation regarding foot pain. He diagnosed the problem quickly and suggested two alternatives for treatment, one of which I've chosen and will see him again next week. BTW, his staff is very pleasant and easy to work with.

I finally decided to get my foot checked after several years of pain every night and my visit was all I could ever wished for. Ryan was honest, professional, straightforward and beyond helpful. The problem was identified immediately, and treatment methods provided with care and solid information. I felt listened to, and understood the entire time and have no doubt on a speedy recovery. I couldn’t recommend this place enough if you’re in need! Thank you so much for having me today!!
