I have been seeing Dr.Vezeridis for 3+ years and feel very comfortable with him. He is very caring, patient and takes his time explaining things and doesn't rush you out. He addresses all the questions and concerns that you have. I recommend and have recommended him highly to my family members and friends and some have ended up as his patients. If you need surgery Raquel Foley (his surgical coordinator) is also great.
Dr a Vezeridis is professional and very down to earth. He takes his time to go over things and make sure you understand everything. I feel very comfortable going into surgery with Dr. Vezeridis.
