Christos Vaklavas, MD

Didn't see Dr I was supposed to. The one I saw did a good job.

I am new to Dr. Vaklava but not new to 3A. Since we did not know each other, And appointment time is limited, I feel I could have benefited from a few more minutes explaining my reasoning and him commenting. He was calm, well prepared and gave a very thorough exam.

Best service and attention to detail

Dr Vaklavas is thorough and clear with explanation in terms I could understand and relate to.

Dr Christos was amazing - kind, very knowledgeable and spent as much time as needed to answer all my questions. I was very impressed.

Dr Vaklavas listened and addressed my issues. He answers all my questions.

My doctor explain everything very clearly about my health problems. I'm very happy with my doctor.

Dr Vaklavas informs me and answers questions. I don't feel rushed through his time.

Dr. Vaklavas and his team are very thorough and competent.

A wonderful team and opportunities to discuss care and concerns.

Dr. Vaklavas is someone I'd define as a superhero doctor. He is one of the best listeners I've ever encountered, and he has been unfailing kind and caring towards me and my husband throughout our 3 year ordeal and despite the hardships he and his colleagues have suffered throughout the dreadful pandemic. I trust him literally with my life and I always will. I am continually amazed by his thoroughness, his attention to all of my medical issues not just my post-breast cancer status (most of which issues are as a result of chemo), and his recommendations for navigating through my issues. When faced with a life threatening situation, he's the guy you want at your side.

Dr is goodSupport staff not so much

I switched my care to Huntsman Cancer, from Utah Cancer Specialists, as Huntsman actually have me options, and showed me my scans, & let me decide instead of just telling me what they were going to do

He was professional, informative, attentive to my questions and concerns. He was reasurring. I think he will take good care of me.

The doc was funny, gentlemanly and I think he cared about me. He spent almost 1 hour and 10 minutes with me and my family. I know I was booked for only 1 hour total which would include the waiting time...so actually about 30 min. Of actual doctor/patient talk time. But, I brought 32 typed out questions. They were mostly disregarded. Only about 3 questions were actually answered. The doc had an agenda of what he wanted me to know. Yes, the information he shared was important and good, but it didn't help me make decisions on future care and procedures...like the surgery coming up this week. I'm seriously considering postponing the surgery to remove the lump and lymph nodes until I've received some needed information. It's OK for a doctor to say, "I don't know the answer to that question," or "I'll find out that information for you," or "Let me check on that." The follow through on promised action on the doc's part is also important, especially in something as life changing and life threatening as cancer.

I like it there

Dr. Vakllavos is so thorough and thoughtful. He spends time talking about any concerns, he knows my chart/history and he provides wonderful explanations for how to best manage concerns. He addresses my particular situation and ties it to what Is known in the medical literature. I am so grateful to have him as my oncologist. He is the best of the best!

Dr. Vaklavas is very pleasant and encouraging. He gives me hope no matter how bad my condition appears to me. He has a great doctor/patient rapport. He put my condition into a comparison that made it clear and pertinent.

Dr. Vaklavas is wonderful. He has a sense of humor that helps alleviate my tension/anxiety. He is truely concerned with my care. He's a kind person.

None just wish he was in Elko

Very compsionate

Normally the doctor is great. This time I felt he was distant. Told me no more scans, tests, but no explanation of that. I wanted to ask more questions but I felt self conscious about it this time. I can't put my finger on it really. I think he thinks I don't want other treatment because I was afraid to take Ibrannce because of another medical condition I have. And since then he has seemed distant. But I'm not a good communicator myself at the doctor's office. I should have asked more questions.

They have always included me in the process of my care & have gave me many options & good advice!

Best experience of my life!!! I felt loved and cared about by all who helped make this appointment possible

Dr always listens always explains

Dr V (I can't spell his name!) is always so attentive and helpful. Very professional!

My oncologist, Dr. Vaklavas, is truly one in a million. He and his staff have literally been at my side throughout my cancer diagnosis and all of the hideous treatments. He has been unfailingly kind and empathetic, and has shown a degree of humility seldom seen in physicians of his caliber. He always answers my questions in a way that I can understand, he takes my concerns into consideration, he has been patient and caring to me and my husband throughout my ordeal. If this had to happen to me, thank God that I had Dr. Vaklavas and his amazing staff to rely on as we navigated through my cancer treatments. They are part of what has turned Huntsman Cancer Hospital into a world class facility.

Bad support staffSaw Dr briefly before his nurse ushered him out

Great care

I love Dr Vaklavos as he addresses all medical very holistic approach. He and the nurse work well together and explain everything

I felt like I was important and that I mattered unlike I felt with my previous oncologist.

There is definitely a communication problem in this clinic, I don't believe it's the doctor, but it does interfere with his treatment when you do not get told of changes

Very good and take care of people when they come in good service

My doctor and nursing staff were helpful and informative. They offered me information and options.

Dor voklavas and anna are great

From Idaho so if any one asked about my care I would tell them about you

Dr. Vaklavas is a wonderful doctor and care provider, he never makes you feel rushed and every question is important to him.

Dr. V and anna area wonderful

It would be hard to overstate our gratitude to Dr. Vaklavas. He has been our guiding light throughout my terrible cancer ordeal. He is a devoted listener and has never failed to respond to my questions, fears and concerns. He has always treated me with the utmost kindness, respect, and competence. He exhibits a humility that Illustrates what a magnificent man and doctor he is. His patients are very well served. Thank you to this extraordinary man and his wonderful staff. My husband and I will forever be in his debt.

dr voklovas is outstanding

He is fabulous. He took the time to research other conditions I have prior to my visit. Very caring, funny in a good way.

good

every thing was explained in terms I could understand.

I'm just upset that suddenly he was being paged or something and I felt rushed. I've been I such bad pain in my chest area as of the last 4 weeks and here I am being ignored again. Old CT scans don't show new anything. I need a nerve abalation on my ribs near my heart. the pain is getting worse. he kept getting calls and pages and I am wondering if a patient was having an all out emergancy because that usually never ever happens. I just get upset because I have to take so much time and effort get to these appointments and I feel cheated when I can't atleast have time to show my serious concerns . I just don't feel like they matter and that hurts my feelings very much. I get that people are paying and calling but o was rushed out of the office after that. also, the new people in the front registration area are rude and incompetent. Alwats goes to voicemail where as before that rarely Happened.

Dr V took a great deal of time to understand my concerns and discuss options and treatment plans. I felt respected and assured of a high quality of care.

Dr. Vaklavas and Nurse Anna are wonderful. They take care of me. But I won't ever go back to Farmington Huntsman again. It's toxic.

Excellent communication. Answered all question thoroughly. Very patient and understanding.
