I was recently operated on by Dr. Vaden and I am very pleased. I had colon resectioning surgery in which about 10 inches of my right ascending colon was removed because of a cancerous tumor. She was able to do laparoscopic surgery on me versus open surgery even though I have several layers of belly fat which I'm sure made it extremely difficult. Because I'm diagnosed at Stage IIa colon cancer, she suggested I obtain a second opinion about receiving chemotheraphy which I'm glad I did as it is not warranted at this time based on tumor not going outside the colon wall; high number of lymph nodes tested were negative and other criteria regarding tumor type, etc. Dr. Vaden is a straight shooter and tells you like it is which I truly appreciate because that's exactly how I am with people. I would recommend her to other patients having to have colon resectioning surgery. Also, her operating room nurses think very highly of her; I know, because I grilled them before my operation. lol

Dr Vaden may be good at her job, but has no inter-personal skills. After surgery, I had to go to the emergency room (I had some breathing issues, nausea, pain in my chest) and she was very upset and angry at me for doing so and mentioned the cost of tests and the visit. I don't know what connection to the insurance company she has but after surgery she was supposed to see my family and never called them. She said she walked out and no one was there so she went on to her next surgery. My mom waited the entire day and didn't eat because she wanted to be there when they called the family. She just doesn't communicate well. On a follow up visit recommended by the ER doctor, she said my tests were normal (although they indicated I had partial lung collapse and an infection). She continued to be dismissive. I had just had surgery and she was angrily speaking to me as if I was a child in front of my spouse. We didn't know what to say. We just felt shocked my her comments and attitude.
