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 questioShow morens, 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.

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 hesiShow moretate returning to this practice for any other future needs. My only regret is not finding out about this practice sooner.

I had an excellent experience with "Dr. V". He diagnosed the source of my foot pain quickly, performed a relatively quick operation and followed up nicely with me. An excellent overall experience.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
