When the Doctor entered the room , after Xrays, I felt finally somebody that understands what Ive been going through. His words ," You have the worst artheritis in any hip Ive seen in my career." Finally somebody who believes me and can help. Its going to be a long process but Im going to fight to walk and move again ince all.these surgeries are said and done .

Karen was not kind and was distracted. I was not her priority while being checked in during both visits. She snapped at me under her breath. It was very uncomfortable. Especially when in pain standing there while she checks you in and decides to shout across the lobby mid check in. It was embarrassing.

06/13/2024

Dr. Vaux was easy to talk to and receptive to listening, engaging me in conversation and answering my questions. He was confident, which gave me confidence in him.

The provider overall seems competent but had he taken the time to listen to me and my medical issues. Contacted providers if he had concerns and actually put me as a patient before his ego it would have been appreciated.

Very professional

10/21/2023

I am very upset that I had to even go see Dr Vaax when I specifically called back on 10/11/23 at 10 am to make sure he did arthroscopic surgery. They called me back 4 hours later to tell me that he did. I arrive at my appointment 10/16 and Dr Vaax said that he does NOT do arthroscopic surgeries! I had already seen another Orthopedic surgeon who told me it’s probably a torn meniscus and that he did not do arthroscopy! So because of the office incompetence, I wasted Dr Vaax time and my time and MY MONEY to see him. I looked at what they wrote in the notes too and it was NOT even close to what I asked them. So I have to pay for another visit for NOTHING!!! They were incredibly incompetent !

10/17/2023
