Dr. Vatev is the best doctor I have ever had. She is amazing and so is her nurse ***. I have lived many places and had many doctors in my 77 years but none have given me the care she has.

The staff and doctor were very efficient and caring. Professional!
Dr. Vatev has been my main provider for years. She also sees my daughter and if she had still been accepting patients, my other daughter would also have her as her PCP. She is an excellent doctor. Usually I can get in to see her sooner but she was out. I was offered another pcp who was filling in for her, but I chose yo wait, She moved me up a week earlier, however, when she did return because she knew the difficulties I was having. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I was very relieved that Dr. Vatev was on call as I had a painful earache. She was able to start me on antibiotics as she knew I was coming in the next day to see her. My right ear does not drain normally and so when it is infected it is particularly painful as pus and blood build up inside the inner ear. I was surprised I could get an appointment so soon after I called. I didn't want to go to an urgi care because last time I caught something when I was there and got very sick. I have been seeing Dr. Vatev and have recommended her to others, including my daughter, who sees her too. My hubsand also joined the practice and sees Dr. Green who he also likes very much. We feel very fortunate.
