Internists - Asheville, NC

"I have been seeing Dr. Vazquez for about 6 years. He has been completely honest with me, even when it is not something I want to hear (like when my previous doctor said the medication would make my thumb point back to normal and Dr. Vazquez had to tell me that is not true), he has been extremely informative (like when he walked me through why my thumb is pointed wrong and what would be needed to fix it). He is caring and understanding (like when I am trying to figure out my 8th medication that is only working about 50% of what I need) and extremely helpful (like when I tell him I am not feeling my best and he makes several suggestions that I had not thought of). He goes out of his way to help me feel better and knows when I need more help than he can provide (like when he helped me get an appointment to get my knee drained because he strongly felt an ultrasound was needed because the fluid was in the back of my knee). I currently drive 45 to 60 minutes to see Dr. Vasquez and I would drive 2 hours because I know I will get the best care."

"I've seen Dr. Mueller for several years now, and in that time she has helped me through changing healthcare plans and navigating prescription costs, researched the different medication options and how they work to better understand my more uncommon condition (narcolepsy), and gave good advice about changing birth control methods based on a family history of osteoporosis. She's efficient and straight-forward but has always genuinely listened and taken my concerns seriously, which I appreciate more than I can say. "

"I went for a meet and greet session with Dr Caldwell. She is very personable but professional at the same time. I have a very complicated history after having 8 surgeries in 4 months. She said she is not afraid of “complicated”. I think she will be good for me. "

"I have been seeing Dr. Ladd for some 20 years. He is an excellent practitioner with a great "bedside manner" in his office, not the hospital as I have never seen him there. He is very attentive and eager to solve any issue I might bring up. I have never been disappointed by anything he has or has not done when seeking his aid. I could not be happier with any other doctor. His staff is "top shelf" in all their assistance and they too seem to really care what kind of service they provide. You will never go wrong with Dr. James Ladd!"
