Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent and very nice doctor and office staff.
Dr. Vazales really knows his stuff. He’s also easy to talk to and an overall very nice guy. Melissa who runs the front desk is also very nice and efficient. My appointment was completed in less than 30 minutes, including x-rays for my foot. I left feeling very confident in the results of the appointment, and will refer Dr. V every chance I get.

Unprofessional
They scheduled an MRI appointment in an emergency hospital that costs me $741 coz the doctor have an affiliation with the facility. When I asked them to change it to a non hospital imaging center that cost me $284 they denied me service. Waisted my time and money. Very unprofessional.

Great Doc and Great Practice
Dr. V was fantastic. His energy and informative nature was really helpful in understanding my situation. The appointment was easy to make, the electronic paperwork easy to fill out and saved me time the day of the appointment, and the mobile and email reminders were helpful. The whole process was convenient and the office was clean. I was very impressed, and I have been to a TON of docs. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. This is how a medical office should run and how a doctor should treat patients! Keep up the great work, Dr. V!

I have been a patient of Dr. Vazales's for several years. There is no one better. I am an experienced health care provider myself and I trust him completely to care for my foot and ankle issues. I saw him today and as always, I was treated with outstanding care, great communication, and a very caring attitude. I have complete trust in him and I know that my wellness is always paramount in his decision making. The office is very clean and the front desk staff was very efficient and friendly. I give Dr. Vazales and his practice stellar reviews!

There is no doctor like Dr. Vazales. He's caring, compassionate, and dedicated to his patients and their families. I had five infections with an ankle injury and one failed surgery. Dr. Vazales took the time to explain what he was going to do and that I would have many people on the team to help me get better. I am now getting ready for physical therapy and am walking. His office staff is also caring and helpful. Thank you to Dr. Vazales and the Foot and Ankle Specialists of VA.
