Dr. Vasquez was very attentive, informative and professional. I trust this doctor implicitly and would highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of a Cardiac Surgeon and/or specialist.

Some five years ago, Dr. Vasquez diagnosed I had four abdominal aortic aneurysms, then devised a procedure whereby he stented three of them and tied off the fourth going through a vein in my groin. I was in the hospital one night. He follows up annually to ensure his measures are still in place. Simply stated, Dr. Vasquez saved my life. I cannot rate his surgical skill and his medical care highly enough.
