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 care
I recommend Dr. Vasquez to everyone seeking thorough care. He will spend how ever long necessary with you in order to diagnose and treat your condition. Very caring and competent. I live an hour and a half away but don't mind the drive because he's worth it. I also see Scott Phillips PA and he provides excellent care, as well. So please with the whole practice. The front staff and assistants are also wonderful.

Excellent doctor
There is a medication I have to be on to function and I worry about being on it so long. I discussed this with Dr. Vasquez and he explained everything to me and made me feel so much better. He is very easy to speak to and takes time answering all your questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

RA visits
Dr.Vasquez does a great job for me since I moved here about a year ago and needed a new doctor. I’ve had some more serious issues with my RA as of late and he communicates well with me gives me the time I need to discuss and resolve my issues.His staff and PA Scott Phillips have all been very professional and knowledgeable and truly care about my needs.

Dr Vasquez was great
Dr V asked questions, checked my history, listened to my issues and then he helped. I had a long wait-time but that's to be expected with good doctors. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Doctor!
I have been seeing Dr. Vasquez for a while now. He is a very, very knowledgable doctor. I always feel listened to and cared for when I go and see him (and trust me, I've interacted with bad doctors in the past). I have a way better quality of life thanks to him. So glad to have been referred to him!

Patient Visit
My appointment was at 1:45. I was ten minutes early and placed in the room by 1:45. Doctor Vasquez did not come into the room till 2:47. The visit was approximately 10 minutes long. My symptoms were dismissed and his bedside manner was horrible. He ended the appointment with calling in a steroid prescription for me I am allergic to and the allergy is listed on my chart.

As my first visit I was very pleased that he fully explained everything very completely throughout the visit. He was very receptive to answering questions and explained a lot that I was not familiar with. I am looking forward to my next visit to see the results of the tests performed and where we go from.

Dr Vasquez has been my arthritis physician since I had an ER visit that was severe. Ever since he's been the only one I want to take care of me. He's thorough, considerate, effective, and informs me of all my problems with arthritis and it's ramifications. I highly recommend Dr Vasquez to anyone who inquires.

Dr. Vasquez said, "Dear patient, first I would like you to inform yourself what a Rheumatologist is". Yes sir, I know. I was referred to you by my GP. Dr. Vasquez said, "I remember we asked you If you had visited a dermatology clinic and you said no". As I told you, twice, I started with my dermatologist, who told me to go to my GP, who referred me to you. But I do want to thank you for examining me AFTER you told me my itchy, burning scalp and hair loss were not serious enough to treat now.
