Dr. Vaux did two knee replacement surgeries for me in four months' time. He is professional in a way that sets one at ease from the first moment he greets one, and instills great confidence in his abilities. His after care has been outstanding. He listens to concerns and follows up. Definitely would recommend him to anyone, especially if it is important that you are allowed to advocate for yourself. He is kind, caring, and an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Vaux is an extraordinary surgeon and through performing my first knee replacement surgery on [date], has made it possible for me to walk a mile a day, which is a true miracle! I am so excited and can't wait until I can have my second scheduled knee replacement surgery on [date], so that when I recover I will be completely whole and can take advantage of the life God originally gave me, and Dr. Vaux will have returned to me! Thank you so much, Dr. Vaux!!!

When the Doctor entered the room , after Xrays, I felt finally somebody that understands what Ive been going through. His words ," You have the worst artheritis in any hip Ive seen in my career." Finally somebody who believes me and can help. Its going to be a long process but Im going to fight to walk and move again ince all.these surgeries are said and done .

Dr. Vaux is quietly friendly and outgoing and conveys a sense of well-being to the patient. He explains everything clearly and takes time to answer off the cuff questions. He is well prepared to meet with the patient. He has done one knee replacement for me and the next one is in about 10 days - I am totally confident in the care I will receive from him and his team.
