Dr. Vasavada is the Dr. Welby (old t.v. show) of our times. He has great understanding, knowledge, empathy and care for his patients. The time spent with a patient is commiserate to their problem/condition. He educates and listens, even when my own diagnosis is off. *wink* I am very comfortable with him and wholly trust his recommendations, treatments and care.

I have been a patient of Dr. V. for at least 15 years. He is thorough, patient and caring. It was he that recommended me to see a urologist, as my PSA was a bit high. With the family history he strongly suggested a visit, I am eternally grateful as I had prostate cancer. Because of Dr. V's observation, it was caught very early and easily treated. Thanks Dr. Vasavada.

I have been a patient of Dr V. from the first day he became affiliated with Pronger Smith clinic. I have been verrry pleased with him. He is knowledgeable, concerned,& very caring. He will spend the time needed to consult with you and not hurry you along. He has a pleasant personality, and his attitude is one of kindess and honesty. I also believe him to be religious & great family man...He does not hesitate to mention them if asked, and I do some times. He' wonderful and I love him.
