I highly recommend this facility. Dr. Tarakji was great and the front and back office staff were very friendly and professional. The nurses in the rooms all had excellent bedside manner. Overall, a pleasant experience. I feel like I blinked and it was over.

VDHC is great! The staff are very welcoming and you don’t wait around too long for your procedure. They are so good at what they do, I had to ask the nurse of the procedure had been done yet. Wonderful experience!
