I would like to say BIG THANK YOU to Dr. Vatev! If it wasn't for his quick and professional diagnosis, I wouldn't be around to write this review today. I had to undergo a lifesaving surgery and time, and precision was of essence here. Dr. Vatev was able to diagnose my condition quickly and did send me to the right specialists for proper treatment. That saved my life. I'd recommend him to anyone in need of quality physician's care. Gencho T.

This Doctor SUCKS. very very slow NEVER CALLS BACK Patients. The office is opened until 6 pm DR is gone by 2. He fell asleep when I was talking to him not once but twice. ??? He ain't working late so not sure why he is so tired. Would never send anyone I cared about to his office. Not a DR I won't or need.
