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!

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.

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.

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.
