Dr. Vasquez has a great chair-side manner, explains thoroughly results of tests, listens to your questions and answers them to your satisfaction. I have a vein and artery condition mostly in my lower left leg. Dr. Vasquez has been monitoring this condition for several years and feels that exercise will better serve my condition than rushing into surgery. He was right! and so far using my treadmill is working well to control the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Vasquez to anyone having circulatory problems.
Additionally, his medical staff, and front office are all friendly and ready to be of assistance.

Some five years ago, Dr. Vasquez diagnosed I had four abdominal aortic aneurysms, then devised a procedure whereby he stented three of them and tied off the fourth going through a vein in my groin. I was in the hospital one night. He follows up annually to ensure his measures are still in place. Simply stated, Dr. Vasquez saved my life. I cannot rate his surgical skill and his medical care highly enough.
