Review for Dr. Wyatt
Dr. Veys made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process, from the consultation through the actual vasectomy. The procedure itself was very quick and virtually painless. I highly recommend Dr. Veys to anyone considering getting this done.

Review for Dr. Veys
Thought I was having problem with my knee replacement but it was perfect in x-ray. He listened to my list of problems and discovered my problem was actually my ITband. He truly does listen to your concerns. Trust him completely.
