Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2021
Dr Vigness was more than willing to spend the time with me to answer my questions and explain in detail the procedure necessary to repair my aortic aneurysm. He is one of a kind, always smiling and in good humor. His knowledge and personality put me at ease immediately. My surgery went exactly like he told me it would and the recovery time was minimal and virtually pain free. He is a true gentleman and his surgical skills are remarkable. Tom in Crowley June 2020
