If I could I’d give Dr. V 10 stars I would. After an orthopedic doc not only failed to improve my hammertoe but left me with continued pain and eventually more issues, I was at a loss. As my pain worsened, I searched for a reputaShow moreble surgeon who wouldn’t treat me as a number but as a person, and finally found Dr. Vazales. Not only is Dr. V an exceptional surgeon, his bedside manner is bar none. There was no rushing me in and out, no short answers, no feeling like I was an annoyance, as happened with my ortho doc. He spent considerable time explaining my issues, why the previous surgery failed, and provided a conservative treatment plan to start - which I really appreciated - as another surgery wasn’t appealing. Once the conservative approach ran its course with limited success, Dr. V thoroughly explained what my surgery would look like, how long recovery would be, etc. And due to the mismanagement of my 1st surgery, this one would be quite major - but I trusted him and he didn’t let me down. As I write this, I am 43 days post-surgery and thriving! One more week in my CAM boot then it’s off to PT! If you’re having any foot or ankle issues, do yourself and your feet a huge favor and call Dr. Vazales - you’ll be so glad you did.
Dr. Vazales is a great podiatrist. My previous board certified podiatrist was the best in the state, and unfortunately he is retiring in 2 weeks. Going to Dr. Vazales’s office after having a serious accident with my feet was the bShow moreest decision I ever made. The office manager got me in right away, His knowledge and explanation of diagnosis and treatment are exceptional. He is extremely easy to talk to, and when you leave the office you feel very happy and completely satisfied.

Dr v is the most caring n knowledgeable person i have ever dealt with i highly recommend him as a person and Dr n a friend
Dr. Vazales and Melanie were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. They saw me right away for an ingrown toe nail. I would highly recommend them.
Doctor took time to listen, provided needed guidance and was polite, courteous and respectful. If needed I will revisit this doctor.
Good visit. Dr. Vazales provided treatment options along with pro and cons.
Simply the best!
Wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’d choose Dr Vazales as my primary care provider if he’d let me.
Dr. Vazales was wonderful. He took time to sit with me and explain different possibilities that could be happening. Prescribed a simple first step of treatment instead of going straight to needing surgery. He was very kind and personable. I will definitely be going back to him when further treatment is needed.
This was the first time I met DR. V and Mrs. Mel. The office was clean and they were prompt, courteous and professional. I will be using them again as needed and I highly recommend them to others. JG Richmond

Dr. Vazales and Nurse Melissa are the best ever. They genuinely care about the patients. I recommend them to family and friends. Very professional practice.
Listen to my concern carefully and then explained everything so that I understood the situation. Appreciate the courtesy of the front desk as well thank you.
Dr. V is great. Thorough, takes the time to explain the pathology of the condition and all treatment options, conservative and surgical as well as prognosis.
Ontime and great care.
Dr. Vazales is wonderful as well as his receptionist! I appreciated how he thoroughly explained everything, his honest opinion and the time he allowed for me to ask questions. I never felt rushed during my entire visit. A very friendly and professional individual.

The care I have received has been excellent. I would recommend them highly.
Dr. Vazales is always kind, attentive to my issues, and gives me an excellent description of the problem and how to fix. Strongly recommend!!
Doctor V was knowledgeable and helped me to better understand and heal from my injury. The office staff was pleasant and the time I had to wait to see him was well worth the care provided. I could not possibly recommend him with more enthusiasm. He's top notch!!!

Everyone was professional and courteous. Will return if needed in the future. Highly recommend. Thanks!
Dr V. is a very caring and compassionate doctor. He was very helpful and provided me information needed on my care in a very easy and understable manner. He was concerned on my progress and ensured my recovery remained on track. I would recommend his care to anyone.
Great
Dr. Vazales was able to locate the problem in my foot that 2 other doctors could not find in 8 months of visits. I wish I had gone to him first ! Robert T, Cosby, Jr
I have had so much pain in the ball of my L foot and traveled up 3 toes due to Morton’s neuroma which had. Even going on for 5-6 years. Saw another MD, said surgery or live with it. It began to prevent me from riding. Yesterday I had a cortisone injection and today no pain and I tested it out with some long trots and canters. It feels great. Highly recommend Dr.V
Dr. Vazales and his staff are actual angels. They’re just the best.
DR. V recommendations for the treatment of my PF pain were spot on. The Injection was 20 seconds of worthwhile pain. Foot 98% better today. Thanks
The best Dr, goes above and beyond. Dr,V is the most caring compassionate Dr who truly cares about his patients. My daughter could not have gotten a better Dr. I recommend Dr.V hands down.. A great Dr and a great surgeon!!!
