PODIATRY, ADULT AND PEDIATRIC FOOT AND ANKLE SURGEON, ADVANCED WOUND CARE, LIMB DEFORMITY CORRECTION & ORTHOPLASTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY IN GLEN ALLEN, VA


Dr. Vazales is one of the best doctors I have seen (in any specialty). He is very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a wonderful communicator. That he loves his work is evident. He is very patient and will happily spend time to ensure his patients' needs are met....whether in understanding anatomy or any procedure which is recommended.

Dr. Vazales is a great podiatrist. My previous board certified podiatrist was the best in the state, and unfortunately he is retiring in 2 weeks. Going to Dr. Vazales’s office after having a serious accident with my feet was the best decision I ever made. The office manager got me in right away, His knowledge and explanation of diagnosis and treatment are exceptional. He is extremely easy to talk to, and when you leave the office you feel very happy and completely satisfied.

Dr. Vazales was wonderful. He took time to sit with me and explain different possibilities that could be happening. Prescribed a simple first step of treatment instead of going straight to needing surgery. He was very kind and personable. I will definitely be going back to him when further treatment is needed.

If I could I’d give Dr. V 10 stars I would. After an orthopedic doc not only failed to improve my hammertoe but left me with continued pain and eventually more issues, I was at a loss. As my pain worsened, I searched for a reputable surgeon who wouldn’t treat me as a number but as a person, and finally found Dr. Vazales. Not only is Dr. V an exceptional surgeon, his bedside manner is bar none. There was no rushing me in and out, no short answers, no feeling like I was an annoyance, as happened with my ortho doc. He spent considerable time explaining my issues, why the previous surgery failed, and provided a conservative treatment plan to start - which I really appreciated - as another surgery wasn’t appealing. Once the conservative approach ran its course with limited success, Dr. V thoroughly explained what my surgery would look like, how long recovery would be, etc. And due to the mismanagement of my 1st surgery, this one would be quite major - but I trusted him and he didn’t let me down. As I write this, I am 43 days post-surgery and thriving! One more week in my CAM boot then it’s off to PT! If you’re having any foot or ankle issues, do yourself and your feet a huge favor and call Dr. Vazales - you’ll be so glad you did.

I have had so much pain in the ball of my L foot and traveled up 3 toes due to Morton’s neuroma which had. Even going on for 5-6 years. Saw another MD, said surgery or live with it. It began to prevent me from riding. Yesterday I had a cortisone injection and today no pain and I tested it out with some long trots and canters. It feels great. Highly recommend Dr.V

Dr. Vazales is so caring! You can tell he loves what he does. I've seen him for a few years now and pray he NEVER retires! In my opinion, having a good foot doctor is waaaay more important than having a good hairstylist! You don't realize how important your feet and ankles are until you stub your toe, well you know what I mean! Grateful to have found him! His front desk person, Melissa is also great! They make you feel welcome!

The doc was very caring, didn't rush me, and took his time. As soon as I described how the issue I was having felt. (Felt like a rock in my shoe that I was carrying around with or without shoes) He knew immediately what was the cause. He done a thorough exam to make sure there were no other issues before he treated my foot. Also, the receptionist was awesome. She had a good sense of humor, (so did the Doc) and made check in and check out a breeze. I would definitely recommend him to anyone having foot or ankle issues. Finding people who actually care is becoming a rarity now a days. The Doc and his team do care and I'm so glad I found them.

Dr. Vazales was friendly and nice and took the time to explain the anatomy of my foot. His suggestion to correct the problem was one I had mentioned that I already tried, and I have not found relief from the pain. I will try an orthopaedic to see I can get to the cause of the problem.

Went in for an infected ingrown toenail I had not realized how bad it truly was, got it numbed up superbly (and his needlework was stellar!

Dr.V was so knowledgeable about what I was going through with foot pain. I have now a positive attitude to fight this foot issue.

My initial appointment with Dr. Vazales was for help resolving a failed toe surgery from late Feb. 2023. The experience I had with Dr. V. compared to my orthopedic surgeon was light years apart. Dr. V explained in detail the structure of my foot, why the surgery failed, other issues contributing to my overall pain and discomfort, showed me the imaging (my ortho surgeon never shared these with me) and most importantly - he did it in an extremely professional yet thoroughly caring, human and easy-to-understand way. His compassion, and passion for doing the best for his patients, is evident from the get go. The time he spent with me over just two appointments was more than the time which was spent with my surgeon over the course of months of follow-up appointments. Call Dr. V - you won't regret it. Thank you Dr. Vazales for your passion, compassion, and expert knowledge of the foot - you are exceptional!

As a woman in my 60’s I have a lot of questions and concerns. Dr. Vazales is very knowledgeable and personable.

Dr. Vazales gets a 10+ rating. I have been seeing another pediatrist for years thinking I had Morton's Neuroma. I was given a list of shoes I should buy to ease pain in bottom of foot. The last visit to former doctor I left office with prescription dose of Voltaren to put on bottom of foot. Pain only increased, and I felt it was time to find new doctor. Dr. Vazales examined foot and within 5 minutes told me it was not Morton's Neuroma but Intractable Plantar Ketatoma (IPK). In next 5 minutes or less he removed the core with scalpel, and I was on my way. He explained it would return, but now I have relief and know there in treatment beyond wearing Sketchers or other cushioned shoes . Dr. Vazales is a top notch pediatrist He thoroughly explained problem, treatment, and what to expect going forward. He knows feet! He was incredible! I went into appointment thinking I needed a major surgery and left his office in less than half hour pain free! Highly recommend Dr. Vazales if you have foot problems.

The very best experience I have had at a doctor’s office. Unbelievable!! I have had severe pain in my right ankle for quite awhile. My chiropractor, Dr. Cherine suggested I have the ankle X-rayed. My appointment was made that day. Dr. Vazales asked the right questions, X-rayed the ankle, explained in detail what the problem is and the plan to relieve the pain, beginning with an injection. Today, there is no ankle pain. I have to believe it was meant to be. Dr. Vazales and his assistant, Melissa, were wonderful.

Dr. Vazales is the best. I went to urgent care on s Friday for pain in my foot. I was told to see my podiatrist as soon as possible. I contacted Dr. VAZALES when I could not get into MY podiatrist for more than a week. I am so glad I went to him. Dr. V asked me questions, took X-rays and I was told I had fractured a bone in my foot. Dr. V has a great personality, he is very informative and the front desk employee is also wonderful to work with. Thank you Dr. V for seeing me on such short notice.

Dr. V was fantastic! He really listened to me during my visit. The office was clean, staff was friendly, and the scheduling/paperwork was a breeze. I’ve been to a ton of doctors and I appreciate all of these elements. More docs/offices should take notes on how they run their ship.

Dr. Vazales is amazing. He is kind, skilled, and knowledgeable. He takes time to explain procedures, answer questions, and offer reassurance. Appointments are set quickly and Melissa, office manager, is exceptional. My surgery went very well and I am so happy with the results! I had been living with a botched surgery result for 10 years. Dr. Vazales fixed it and improved my quality of life. I highly recommend Advanced Foot and Ankle.
