Always helpful, concerned for my recovery, and courteous!
Great 1st visit. Staff was friendly and helpful and cannot believe I got a x-ray and cortisone shot in just one visit. I feel much better. Thank you to all. Susan Boghoian.
I am so pleased Dr Vezeridis did my shoulder surgery. The next day after surgery I had at least 90% less pain in my shoulder. I was very impressed. I hardly had to take any pain medicine. He is very personable as well and I am so thankful I chose Dr Vezeridis to do my shoulder surgery. He is also very kind and humble. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering shoulder replacement surgery. Thank you Dr Vezeridis.
