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.

I am very fortunate to have Dr. Vaz
This physician of mine is great for numerous reasons. He's clearly listens to my concerns and his effective communication skills give me a better and clearer understanding when it involves my issues and concerns. I always appreciate him getting right back to me with test results and value his knowledgeable, educated and experienced opinions. He's one of the best.

Dr. Vaz is the best physician I have ever had. He is so patient, kind, and caring. He is non-judgmental and always puts his patients needs first. Everyone in my family sees him and cannot say enough good things about him.

I’ve been see Dr Vaz for over 20 years and he is the best of the best. You can tell him anything and he is always going to be kind and understanding and most of all helpful doing his best to give you relief and best care. I’d just make an appointment and see I’m telling you exactly how he is. I m sure you’ll choose him!

This man is a saint. I'm not fond of doctors and choose not to see them until I'm really sick. Everytime I see Dr Vaz his calming demeanor always puts me at ease. He always listens and makes sure you understand your condition. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Dr Vaz has been my Dr and my husbands Dr for almost 20 years. There is nothing Dr. Baz wouldn’t do to help a patient get well. Dr Vaz takes the time to talk to,his patients and understand them, he cares truly cares about the people he is treating. We adore Dr Vaz, he makes us feel like we matter to him and he wants us to be healthy. Dr Vaz is so orofessional and knowledgable he stands far above others as a true winner in the field of medicine. I highly recommend Dr. Vaz

Was a great doctor till his office stopped taking my insurance than he stopped seeing me! I had an emergency but could not schedule an appt and was not given the reason so I assumed it was an insurance issue or just didn’t care! During my cancer treatment his office staff were so slow and lazy getting information to my surgeon that when I called for the fourth time and got the office manager her respond was “what do you want me to do about it?” They are just rude!!!!

Dr. Vaz is about as good as it gets he cares about his patients he smart articulate and not motivated by money. I have watched him over the past 10 to 15 years and believe that he really understands everything that is needed to be a caring and attentive physician. I can’t say enough about ‘Richard

I have been Dr. Vaz's patient for 15 years. He has 1 of the best, most comfortable & endearing bed-side manners of any doctor I know. Whenever I need to see a specialist, he always sends me in the right direction everytime. He takes his time with his patients & really cares about each & every one of them. I recommend him to all my family & friends.
