Dr. Vawter always listens to my concerns without judgment. He always spends enough time with me and makes sure I understand everything that we talked about before he leaves. I have recommended him to family and friends ever since I became his patient.

Dr. Vawter and his team are always so good to me. I couldn't ask for a better provider than Dr. Vawter. I appreciate how he covers so much ground in such a short time, is so thorough, and he isn't afraid to refer you to a specialist if he doesn't have an immediate answer about something that is going on with your health and body. He listens very well. What I also really like about Dr. Vawter is how he's so approachable and a real person not just a representative of his profession. You feel like you know him and little and he knows you and it is like having a true small town doctor who remembers things about you - even though he likely has 2 thousand different patients. How on Earth does he remember all the things?? Great provider!!

My primary care provider is friendly, respectful, a good listener, and thorough. And he has common sense.
