Overall, awesome! Was quick to see the doc. Got X-rays and he was able to read them right away. He’s thorough and professional. I’m happy with the visit
I have seen Dr. Vasquez before. I was amazed at how quickly he was able to diagnose the problem and immediately started solving it. X-rays were taken and interpreted in a very short time. I was very satisfied.

Dr. Vazquez was very kind and quick. He was very helpful.
Knowledgeable, aggressive treatment for solutions
doesn't introduce his interns or residents that come into the room with him, didn't even wait for consent re: cortisone injection was going to do it regardless. chewing gum, using words like crap and hell. said arthrogram mri was useless and ultrasound guided injection was overkill. said prev surgery was unnecessary. didn't want me to speak for my minor teen child re: medications told me to let her answer. he's got a ton of negative reviews, i should have researched more. it's a waste of time to see this immature doctor .
