I love this doctor! She is pleasant, she thinks out of the box and helped me find a diagnosis that should have been dx'd several years ago and she was the one to find it. I am so happy with her, I have already recommended her to two of my friends!!

Dr. Vize was great; very welcoming and explained everything. However, I would like to suggest that the rest of the staff does the same. Telling patients what is being done and why is comforting and educational
