If I could have given Dr. Vrabec a higher score, I would have. He really knows how to discuss situations and explains what and why he is doing a certain procedure, etc. And answers all questions.

Hi - My condition requires periodic follow-up since my surgery in 2022. I appreciate Dr. Vrabec's care and explanation at each visit. There has been no change or complication since then. I especially appreciate Dr. Vrabec's review of the most recent imaging with me, and his guidance that with no changes we can confidently extend the time between our follow-ups. Thank you.
