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 immediateShow morely, 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!!

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 againShow more next week. BTW, his staff is very pleasant and easy to work with.

Wonderful Doctor. Great Care

John J • June 11, 2026

Dr. Versailles has been very helpful in reducing the pain level for my foot condition. He explained the treatment plan, was easy to speak with and addressed all my questions. I’d refer him to anyone in need of foot or ankle help.

As always, Dr V is simply the best.

All great service.

Jon D • March 02, 2026

The Doctor and Staff are very kind, caring, and professional. He evaluated my situation and listened intently to my concerns. It seemed immediately that he knew what was wrong and then proved it through an X-ray. I had seen two other doctors that week, and neither diagnosed it properly.

Kendall A • February 26, 2026

Claude J • February 09, 2026

Dr VAZALES was very easy to work with. He provided great care to my son while resolving his foot issue.

Anders C • February 05, 2026

Dr. Vazales was able to diagnose my issue after years of pain after I did not receive proper care for an achilles tendon rupture. Dr. Vazales takes the time to listen and is a true advocate for proper patient care. Melissa in the front office is wonderful and took care of anything that came up along the way. I am very appreciative of the care I have received so far.

Victoria B • February 03, 2026

The best bedside manner I've ever had!

Shanika B • October 18, 2023

I made an appointment within days of when I called. I was seen promptly when I went in for my appointment. And, Dr. Vazales quickly recognized the problem and proposed two solutions--one temporary and one permanent. His explanation of the problem and the procedure to correct it was easy to understand and I had plenty of time to ask questions. I felt confident about his diagnosis and with his expertise as a foot and ankle specialist. His staff person has been so cheerful and helpful.

Anne A • May 11, 2023

Kalynn B • May 05, 2023

Very personable upon first appointment, it puts you at ease. Upon hearing my problem he draws a picture of what he is going to do (great art work). He also explained possible future treatments. The reception person ( Melissa) very efficient, personable and helpful.

Kenneth S • May 05, 2023

I have never felt more comfortable with Dr. Vazlales - excellent communications and recommendations on the care I needed. His office staff (Mel) is professional, knowledgeable and caring. Perfect team for a perfect practice!

Sherry F • May 04, 2023

Great explanation of procedure and better yet, very clear, easy to follow after care procedures. The whole experience was great, and the best part - my toe is great now!

Palmer S • April 28, 2023

I went in to talk to Dr. V about my right foot - I have had pain and defority of my 2nd toe. for 8 years. I had 2 foot surgeries involving the 2nd toe...causing it to be much shorter. I learned that my previous surgeries didn't have the results they should have. Dr. V xrayed showed my foot so he could show me what he was talking about. While the news wasn't what I wanted to hear, he was thorough and honest - and he showed compassion - delivering this news to me.

Terry C • April 22, 2023

Highly recommend! So far cannot say anything negative. Second appointment.
