Patient Reviews
Jun 22, 2022
My father needed surgery when he was 90 and saw Dr. Vrees for a second opinion. My father was so impressed with him and the quick rapport they developed that he chose Dr. Vrees as his surgeon. Dr. Vrees brought him through the operation successfully. “Now go home and enjoy your life,” he told my Dad at his follow-up visit. And my father did that: He had happy and healthy years afterward, and for the rest of his life he prayed regularly for Dr. Vrees and his team. Besides his surgical skills, what sets Dr. Vrees apart is the kindness and respect he shows patients. Dr. Vrees spent a lot of time with my family answering our questions in plain English. There’s an anatomical chart in his office, and my Dad asked Dr. Vrees to explain to him using that chart exactly what his procedure would involve and how it would be done. Dr. Vrees did that. My family is thankful that Dr. Vrees chose to become a doctor, and that our paths crossed when my Dad needed help. Dr. Vrees is the best.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
