Michael Vaphiades, DO

While the testing was thorough, as my husband’s caregiver I felt like at the end of the Dr visit his diagnosis really wasn’t explained enough that a senior citizen could understand. I had to keep asking questions to find out enough information. Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be though. Main thing is we have answers.

From check in to check out it was a pleasant experience. Blair set the tone and the rest of the staff kept it going. Dr V. Is great and explain things very thoroughly.

The visit was quick and easy.

I had a very good visit. The staff was very professional and gave me a comfortable feeling because we’re all very competent. Dr. “V” was very thorough. I left the visit feeling like I was in very good hands

45 minutes after appointment time before called back. Other than that great.

Grateful for the care received! Dr.Vaphiades extensive knowledge in my opinion saved my eyesight! After I had been to several other doctors for months with no success and my eyesight failing further by the day.He was able to diagnose a condition that did not present itself in the normal fashion. I was immediately set up with a proper and expedited treatment plan that successfully corrected my particular condition. Dr.V's genuine concern with my treatment and recovery is refreshing and unfortunately seldom seen these days. UAB is so incredibly fortunate to have a person of this caliber teaching future healthcare professionals!

Needs were met

Personal

Everything was excellent, have no complaints

Dr. V is awesome!

Dr. V was excellent

Dr. Vap is fabulous.

Comprehensive and thorough.

I was able to get an appointment with Dr. V in one day through my eye doctor in Birmingham. My prognosis went from “could cause blindness”, to having a prism added to my glasses. Dr. V is a miracle for me. It took three hours, but the staff was very efficient and friendly. For me, it was a wonderful experience.

Dr. V and his staff are always great!

Blaire and Laura were so kind and helpful. Enjoyed meeting Dr V.

Professional approach and matter of fact discussions

Eye exam was very thorough, staff was very nice

Dr.V is a very experienced and caring Dr. If you are one of his patients, you are Blessed.He may put you through several tests during your visit but he insures the very best care!

Great employees that showed professionalism in their work. Dr, V was very through in explaining my problem.

I got called back fast. Doctor is always prompt. However, I have not felt much effects from the botox. I found out about a similar product called Xaxify that lasts months longer. It is similar to Xeomin. Not sure if the doctor may be interested or not. Just FYI. Otherwise my trip was good.

So thankful for dr vaphiades and the standard of care he’s always provided. He’s an outstanding doctor and human being. I also wanna commend one of the wonderful employees in checkout. Her name is Scherian and she is incredibly pleasant , professional, helpful and kind. Her work ethic and demeanor are absolutely amazing and I sincerely hope she is given some recognition for the amazing job she does. Her personality is so warm and kind , she’s diligent at her work and her customer service skills are top notch. Sincerely, one of the sweetest people I’ve encountered in my entire time as a patient ..

Everyone friendly, efficient, professional and thorough.

Dr. Vaphiades is very intelligent, professional caring, all-around excellent doctor and so are his staff members. I’ve only gotten excellent treatment from all of them. I highly recommend them.

Everyone was courteous.

Very professional and kind

Dr. V is phenomenal. When both eyes went bad, he was there to walk me through everything and get me in touch with all the people who could help me. As God has Blessed my right eye to improve, he has still stayed on top of my vision, making sure t uh ere are no surprises. He even stopped a checkup once midway through because he thought my natural tremors were Parkinson’s and gave me a full exam. He truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile. There is no one better. Although, Dr. [ ] is a close second. He has operated on my eyes twice, and each time they get better. He has kept me out of prisms per my request, and like Dr. V, he does s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Please do whatever s necessary to keep them both at Callahan. I’m disabled, but I’d gladly give what I could and fundraise for that to happen. They mean that much.

The technician that did my eye pressure and exam was a pleasure to work with. It's the first time I've seen him but he took really good care of me. He was friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Dr. Vaphiadies is always great! He complimented me on my 50 pound weight loss and said everything looked good and see you in a year. All the staff do a great job! The check-in and checkout ladies were very accommodating as well. I enjoy being seen by such a great team.

They were very prompt, professional, and caring.

Lots of wait time, but the superb care is worth it.

Recurring diplopia. Course of action acceptable and non-invasive. This clinic is clearly helping a very large amount of people. If success rate is as high as it seems, such a bright light for the region.

Callahan Eye Clinic shows there care for patients and speaks with smiles showing there kindness

Total lack of medical decorm.Did not ask questions Other than needed durninng test. Would not want to see again.

Felt like I had to ask question instead of getting the update from his knowledge ; since my knowledge is obviously less on this topic. It’s hard because I don’t always know what questions to ask.

The visit was just a incredible experience. All the staff and doctors were just as nice and respectful and educational. I see why they were voted the top eye care facility in the state. Didn't have to wait very long to see these professionals and loved every minute of my visit.I will definitely be coming back to this place when I need them.A++++++++++

Dr. V was very concerned and sorry about what happened to me . Also, he was willing to do whatever he could to help me.

Wonderful

I had several questions c- Dr V explained each in an easy to understand manner. He and his staff took all the time I needed during the exam.

My team has been consistently professional and committed to helping me improve my optimal level of functioning pertaining to my vision.

Good caring doctors, good caring nurses, they understand & listen to everything you explain & tell them, good clean place & facility.

Great service.

Everything was great, except we did have to wait a little longer than usual to see the doctor. Other than that nothing negative to say.

Dr. V is always so knowledgeable and thorough! He’s the best!
