:( Click to report rating    11/18/09 5 3 1 1  This is not a good doctor to go to if you have any serious problem. He only wants to cover up the problem instead of fix it. He wants you to keep coming into the office for evaluations but nothing comes of it except more money in his pocket. He feels that his answer is the only one and how dare you ask for a second opinion. He refuses to refer you to another doctor simply because he knows they will find your problem that he couldn't. The staff is great and try to help but he hinders them from helping patients. I would not recommend him to anyone for treatment.

:( Click to report rating    8/5/09 5 3 1 2  I have gone to Vacalis for years now. I do not like his attitude. He constantly looks down at me, doesn't fully listen to what I have to say and talks to me like I'm stupid. On top of that, I think he takes kick-backs on rx's because he's ALWAYS prescribing me the newest name brand drug even though my insurance WON'T cover it. I wouldn't recommend him to ANYONE! He obviously doesn't consider my wellbeing a priority!

:) Click to report rating    12/12/06 5 5 5  Fantastic! Great doctor and he took good care of me. He took time to explain my illness and even gave me a follow-up call. He is very busy but, when I truly need him to help me, he is always there. I have recommended him to my friends. I trust him.

:) Click to report rating    6/28/06 4 5 5  very helpful and gave me samples. I felt better the following day. highly recommended by others and listens and gives you time which is very uncommon these days in a doctors office.

:( Click to report rating    6/6/06 3 1 1  This doctor warned me that I was probably in the early stages of a deadly pneumonia when I'd simply had an allergic reaction to an OTC cold medication which triggered an asthma attack. After 4 x-rays and bloodtests, I saw another doctor who assured me that I did not have any type of pneumonia and was healthy.
