Awesome visit and checkup with Dr Vaupel for my ankle tendon relocation surgery. He’s amazing!
Aug-2024
He took the time to ask if she had any concerns.
Aug-2024
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.
Aug-2024
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.
Aug-2024
Dr Valupel always runs on time!!
He is always very friendly, professional, and patiently answers all my questions.
Jul-2024
Very good. Would highly recommend.
Aug-2024
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!
Jul-2024
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 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.
Jan-2024
Excellent
Jan-2024
Examination was very thorough & professional to address concerns. To start examination, an xray with a clear image made us confident in the conclusions.
Jan-2024
Great surgeon did good job on my ankle
Jan-2024
Dr V acts like he is just part of the family. So nice always smiling. I can't say enough good about the man.
Jan-2024
He is a good Doctor, visit was good.
Jan-2024
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.

Explained my condition very well
Jul-2023
Great Doctor
Jul-2023
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

Jul-2023
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..
Jun-2023
Dr. Vaupel was thorough, gave reasons for my foot pain and non sugical and surgical options.

May-2023
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
May-2023
Cancelled two appointments with no apology or reason, acted like he could barely wait to leave the room after a 5 min appointment.
May-2023

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.

Mar-2023
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.
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.
Mar-2023
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.
