I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas Vasdekas since 2003, every office visit and surgery experience has been incredible. I highly recommend Dr. Vasdekas for multiple reasons. In 2003, Dr. Vasdekas and I worked through many tests in an effort to determine that my gall bladder needed to be removed. As stubborn as I am, worked in the stock market, I was convinced that the pains in my side were stress. Well for 5 years I endured gall attacks, leaving extensive adhesions that Dr. Vasdekas had to remove during surgery, along with laparoscopic gall bladder removal. Throughout the years I have referred to Dr. Vasdekas as my "PCP", even though he is a General Surgeon. Subsequently, I made appointments to tap into the knowledge Dr. Vasdekas possesses and his uncanny ability to listen during an appointment; it is rare to find a doctor that combines personal character and patient care, leading to outstanding medical care. And, each referral Dr. Vasdekas provided has been stellar.

My first visit with Dr. Vasdekas made me so glad my doctor recommended him. He took his time to explain what he thought should be done and the way he would do it. His warm and caring attitude was genuine. I walked out of his office knowing I was in good hands.

Dr. Vasdekas is a great doctor. Is very caring and loyal to his patients. The only issue was with one of the nurses in his office is very unprofessional how she talks to the patient if you have a question for the doctor when you call the office.
