Just had a few questions I didn’t think of at the appointment! Need to call and check into some more details about the surgery.

Thank yoi, Dr. Vaupel I appreciate the visit and going over my resolve MRU reports.

Very thorough appt. Explained everything in great detail. Answered all my questions.

Very knowledable and friendly Pleasant experience

Very helpful and optimistic for surgery

Easy to talk to. Explained everything to me. I would refer my friends to him.

A most caring Dr 😊very thoughtful and eager to learn about new situations...not shying away from a challenge ..I appreciate him so very much thru my VERY COMPLEX SITUATION ...as I hope your practice will as well.. PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRACTICE... he's an asset to everyone involved and THANK YOU SO MUCH for any further assistance

This was my first apt. So far, good!

Dr. Vaupel is AWESOME!

I greatly appreciate the concise, thorough explanations he provides. He answers all my questions with patience. After a surgery required hospitalization, he was very attentive and followed my case thoroughly.

Awesome visit and checkup with Dr Vaupel for my ankle tendon relocation surgery. He’s amazing!

He took the time to ask if she had any concerns.

Dr. Vaupel is a trusted voice for me who explains procedures & impact clearly & in “real person” terms. No one is a fan of surgery- at any level. But, being a fan in your doctor is crucial to piece of mind. I’m a big Dr. Zach fan.

Felt dismissed regarding my concerns. Medications discussed were never sent to the pharmacy. Minimal instruction in ROM exercises, and handout had exercises that were not discussed with no information and blurry photo instructions.

Dr Valupel always runs on time!! He is always very friendly, professional, and patiently answers all my questions.

Very good. Would highly recommend.

I trust him. I believe he knows what he is doing by his confidence. When I have issues he doesnt hesitate to address them. Ex:I had an issue with my toe and the xray showed it is broken. He told me how to handle it. I felt better knowing the cause of my toe pain. He is the best!

Addressed the problem very conservatively and advised if the pain does not relinquish to come back. Ordered an immobilizer for the time being.

Dr Vaupel is the best!!!

One word, he's "AWESOME"

He’s one of the best surgeons ever very friendly make you comfortable very confident and whatever he says, I would go to home again

I feel very confident in his ability to do surgery on my foot and make me pain free again!!

Fabulous fantastic doctor

Very good Doctor and surgeon.

Gentle ..nice...quick

Personable, clear with directions, promot

Dr Vaupel took very good care of me before and after my surgery. I can do everything even better now than I could before my injury and the resulting surgery. I'm very happy!

Always a good experience having treatment from him. He listens, answers all questions, never appears rushed.

Dr. Vaupel is an excellent Dr.

Needs to go back to school, and learn about bone marrow edema ,he might learn how debilitating and painful this disease is, then he might be able to treat his patients correctly God Bless Christian

One of the best in the world, !!! I would recommend him to anybody !!

He was very nice also direct and accurate with what he's going to do and all around very nice guy

Dr. Vaupel is very competent and friendly. I didn’t have to wait long and left his office with answers I was looking for. Would highly recommend

Awesome!

Thank you for your help.

Took time to answer my questions in a respectful way.

Knowledgeable and friendly service.

Quick post surgery visit. Good information was given to clear up some misunderstandings.

Very nice and thoughtful Doctor. It was a very good visit

Taking good care of my ankle.

Very clear and to the point and was very patient friendly

Wonderful visit, helpful. Very informative, looked across all of my injuries. Very happy with the complete care given. Highly recommend.

Very caring and concerned

Great at what he does, very easy to talk to and ask questions

Dr. Vaupel is AWESOME.

Even though I had a minor injury (ankle sprain), Dr. Vaupel treated me with top notch care and attention as if it were a major injury and I ended up avoiding surgery. I highly recommend him. Thank you!

He is very informative

Staff is friendly and very efficient. Most importantly Dr Vaupel takes the time to listen to you and explains procedures completely. Also tells you the pros and cons to help your decisions.

Excellent care provider. Excellent work.

Dr Vaupel is the absolute best. Always on time. Very informative and explains things in ways the average person can understand.

Excellent, knowledgeable and personable

He's the best!!!!!!!

Dr Vaupel is very thorough, great bedside manner, & kind. This is a 2nd procedure for me. I highly recommend Dr. Vaupel.

Excellent !

He's too busy to stay with us and complete the treatment.

Excellent. very professional and understanding! !!

Good doctor that explains all options - very comfortable with his services

He had the answers for what I need on my way to recovery

Dr. Vaupel is absolutely wonderful! Explains all aspects of care thoroughly. Very professional and personable. I would highly recommend Dr. Vaupel and Michigan Orthopedic Specialty!

Dr.Vaupel and his resident assistant was very knowledgeable, positive,and compassionate. Although on a negative note I found that one of the front desk clerks (whom I will refrain from naming) was somewhat rude and condescending.

Excellent

Examination was very thorough & professional to address concerns. To start examination, an xray with a clear image made us confident in the conclusions.

Great surgeon did good job on my ankle

Dr V acts like he is just part of the family. So nice always smiling. I can't say enough good about the man.

He is a good Doctor, visit was good.

I understandably just met him, but his suggest was basically ten steps back in my treatment I've had. My pain keeps me from sleeping he has zero suggestions, and nowadays asking for meds is like a crime. Because I left with no help to my actual problem, I choose to skip seeing your hand doctor afraid of the same experience. I will still not sleep inserts or not my main concern was looked over because it involved medication. He seen my med list and choose to judge me for choosing a less addicted route of medication. Just because a person is on Suboxone does not mean they automatically have medicine addiction. I wish he took the time to ask me what other doctors have tried already and asked me my medication choices instead of labeling me a pain medication addict. I don't know that I will ever be back . I left there's sobbing knowing I had more nights of no sleep ahead of me.

This guy knows what he is doing. Anywhere else would be less than adequate

Excellent doctor he gives great care to his patients I recommend anyone to dr.vaupel

Dr Vaupel is very caring and explains each step. I appreciate his approach.

Great experience, awesome doctor. Great office and mainly everything was right on time. Highly recommend. Thank you for all your help Natasha

Doctor Vaupel has expertly managed my joint pain For several years now. He's never rushed me into surgery! But when the time comes which I know is very soon, I'm ready thanks to him.

He understood & listened. He gave me options to choose from without any pressure. Greatly appreciated

I met with Dr. Vaupel to evaluate a foot drop problem I am experiencing and possible surgical options for helping me walk normal again. He took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and concerns regarding the surgical procedure and the confidence that I was selecting the best specialist!

Five Stars says all very Professional, Personal

Excellent Doctor.

I’m hoping that the Exercise the doctor told me help me with my feet but on the other hand everything was great

Doctor Vaupel actually listened to me and what I wanted. I’m a gymnast and I was told by another doctor I had to quit. He told me we will try this, this and this and if it doesn’t work then we try something else.

Very professional and thorough

Very confident makes you feel nothing to worry about, besides being a great doctor!

Explained the procedure very clearly to me. Took his time so I could ask questions. Happy to have someone so talented help my husband !

He didn’t listen to me or didn’t believe me there is a better g bump in my heel

Wonderful!!

Very professional, polite and knowledgeable i felt very comfortable

Dr Zachary Vaupel are a excellent doctor

The doctor appeared sincere, informative, compassionate and very easy going. He answered all my questions, kept me at ease and offered me confidence in the procedure he would perform.

Great doctor, always polite.

Dr Vaupel is attentive and has Excellent bedside manners! I didn’t feel rushed.

Took his time to explain the pros and cons of having surgery.

Dr. Vaupel listened to my concerns. He administered my injection with care and pain was minimal. He saw me in a timely manner.

Had to wait a bit as I was a first time patient but once in, everything went pretty fast

Dr. Vaupel and all of his staff were very professional, courteous and took great care of me with the injury to my foot.

Very personable and knowledgeable. I appreciated that he is trying more conservative methods with me before jumping into surgery.

He’s an excellent Doctor . I love him. He’s done everything I asked. Thank you so much.

He was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful

No issues with the dr at all. But had to wait far too long for a toe sleeve😠25 minutes! Perhaps as a result of understaffing?

Explained my condition very well

Great Doctor

I sat in the examining room for one hour 20 minutes and he saw me for 4mins. Billed my insurance for the highest billing code. Not fair at all. If he was doubled booked it should have been noted to the patient

Knowledgeable,friendly,understanding .

He listened, and excepted my input.

Gets to the point on everything very well. Doesn’t talk around things

I was concern/afraid to have surgery, and Dr. Vaupel answered every concern that I had, and has continued to be supportive, and answer any questions/concern that have for this entire process. Thank you Dr. Vaupel!

Very thorough.

Very professional and personable to

Not his fault that he told me the truth from what he saw on the x-rays. It was a very sad visit. The Dr was very pleasant and direct. Thankfully someone told me what I dreaded. I've been suffering over a year with my big toe not healing from surgery. Dr. Vaupel told me I'd never wear heels again and I need another surgery to be pain free. I just wish my surgeon had told me this would be the outcome a year ago before I let him operate iny toe. Dr.Vaupel is the only Dr out of 4 that was brutally honest about my toe..

Dr. Vaupel was thorough, gave reasons for my foot pain and non sugical and surgical options.

Very pleasant and efficient!

Excellent doctor

Dr. Vaupel takes the time to listen and to make sure he understands the problem as well as ensuring all avenues are discussed for options.

Sign in is asks for to many unnecessary questions not related to health problems

The best highly recommended take care and talks to THIS patient

This is the first time I ever been treated terrible by the staff at Michigan orthopedic surgeon I will never see this doctor again did not take x-ray ether even when he did not like the x-ray that I had but the doctors that I have seen before always did there own x-ray and told me to do what I already have been doing for 3weeks that's not working that is why I made the appointment drive 1 1/2 hours one way for nothing

Cancelled two appointments with no apology or reason, acted like he could barely wait to leave the room after a 5 min appointment.

Great . Thank you

This dr doesn't seem to have compassion with his this may or may not help mentality I was kinda hoping for something that would be of definite benefit

I was frustrated with my condition and was rude to Dr Zac. I apologize he was great and provided solutions! Thanks

Super nice and personable!

Excellent service all questions answered

Great Dr

Listened to my concerns and was gentle with my pain. My visit was very thorough and his PA was wonderful. I am happy to have found Dr. Vaupel to help me with my poor feet and ankles!

Best doc eva! I refer people all the time.

MOS has been super great to work with. Dr. Vaupel is very punctual, informed, and confident in a way that is reassuring and informative, not judgemental at all. I'm rarely waiting more than a few minutes for anything I've ever had done including X-rays, MRI, seeing the doctor, physical therapy, and all of the support staff. I am very happy with all of my services through MOS Royal Oak and Southfield locations.

Dr. Vaupel was friendly and professional. He explained my issue in a clear and easy to understand manner. He provided resources to address the issue.

Always a good visit

Excellent! Jim Geroux

He is straightforward and has a great demeanor! He is very professional! Love him

Really nice doc. Honest and to the point. Will definitely return if needed.

I truly like him I had very good experience with dr. Vaupel..

I was a first time patient and was expressed how Dr. Vaupel explained my feet problem in detail and the same with the procedure of the shots. Doctor Vaupel and staff were very nice and very professional, i finally found my new foot doctor and very happy about it. Thank you for helping me today with the pain ive been dealing with for 8 month's.

Very professional

Excellent!

Rude, insensitive, uncaring - terrible bedside manner.

I was referred to this office by another physician for a surgical procedure. Instead, I received a quick 6 minute discussion with Dr. Vaupel informing me that no surgical procedure will improve my prognosis except pain management. As I discussed my history/issues he just kept shaking his head up & down.I have 2 torn ligaments (on MRI report and disc) in which were read by not only a radiologist, but also another orthopedic surgeon, and 2 separate ER doctors (all stating the same thing. Dr. Vaupel tells me he disagrees & “everything looks fine”. Then he falsified my visit summary and stated that I refused treatment options. Illegal! I personally felt he was inconsiderate, dismissive, and displayed lack of knowledge when it comes to mobility alterations. He kept disregarding my severe swelling, ROM deficits, and the stability of my ankle joint overall. I felt like I was wasting his time and feel that the treatment I received was unprofessional and inexperienced for being a specialist.

Great Doctor, extremely knowledgeable! I had an accident and he saved my ankle and foot. Have gone back for minor issues, always has the best advice for what to do.

Dr Vaupel was friendly, informative and helped me make informed decisions.

Excellent yes

Very straight forward answered my concerns

Explained everything to ma and gave me options to correct foot issue

Very nice Doctor, will see again.

Great Doctor, friendly and would recommend him to others.

He took time to listen to my problems He was able to provide another pay specialist, so I give him a 10.

Very personable and knowledgeable. Explained options

He was great with my dad. Explained everything so he could understand and was very patient.

Listened to what I had to say. I have a difficult challenge and he took the time to hear my thoughts and discussed them. I feel comfortable talking with him about my challenge and how he is going to treat me.

Very nice doctor

Very Compassionate /explanations very helpful in moving forward to make best decisions long term 🙏

I wish I had received more information about the specifics of a surgery I am likely to have soon. I suggest an FAQ information sheet of some sort. Scheduled surgery on 10/31 for December, still have not received email with surgery info.

Dr. Vaupel is very nice and addressed my questions.

He explained his diagnosis in clear Lauren’s terms and explained my X-ray, including my unusual bone structure contributing to my condition. Much appreciated.

Very efficient and very courteous

Phenomenal doctor who broke down my options per my condition. Very well spoken and upfront.

Great Doc!

Learned how to reduce my pain. Thanks

Listened to my concerns. Offered multiple options. Took his time. As a repeat patient, I have trust and confidence in Dr. Vaupel.

Saw Dr. about 80 minutes after appointment time. Still have pain but there is nothing he can do nothing surgically to alleviate pain. Nice visit but no resolution.

very helpful a few suggestions

Listened knew what was going on before I saw in in patient room

He is thorough and professional

Very patient with me and explain what possible options could be if the pain continues to give me issues.

Dr. Vaupel is not only a great doctor but also has a wonderful beside personality. Somewhat unusual in a specialist. The office staff is very kind & there to help you with any concerns. This includes not only the front desk but the X-ray techs, nurses & or aids. I will certainly recommend Dr. Zachary Vaupel. Thank you for the special care you have given me. Although you were all wonderful, I pray I never have to see you again😂

Doctor is very professional and friendly. Thoroughly explained what I was dealing with and how he would fix it. I was not rushed at all and able to ask questions.
