I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received from Dr. Vezeridis. After a shoulder injury that had been lingering and worsening for months, he made time to see me quickly and approached my case with both expertise and genuine compassion. He took the time to carefully evaluate what was going on, clearly explain the options, and develop a thoughtful treatment plan. I especially appreciated how calm, reassuring, and thorough he was throughout the visit. I felt truly heard and in very capable hands. I highly recommend Dr. Vezeridis to anyone seeking outstanding orthopedic care.

Dr Vezeridis is Wonderful! My 2nd time to see him w/a different knee. He is Professional & Informative. Yet he is kind and personable. He asks questions as to how I am feeling pain. I feel comfortable asking him questions. I know he had a Full schedule when I was there, & no PA, yet he did Not make me feel rushed. He took time for me. He also apologized for the “wait”, since he was operating with no PA. It was Not a problem for me. I would Highly Recommend Dr. Vezeridis in an Instant! And The Excel Staff!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hopefully my L-shoulder will not that much…
