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.
