Dr. Vaccaro has been my PCP for the year I have been in IL and his guidance to improve and maintain my heltath has ben invaluable. We will be moving out of state within the next few week and we hope to find a doctor where we go that would exhibit the caliper of Dr. Vaccaro

I have complete confidence in Dr Vaccaro. Not only is he a caring physician but he is a good listener and good diagnostician. He is able to hone in on the nature of my complaints, involve me in any decision about any further testing, treatment and medication when necessary. I travel nearly 100 miles to continue with him as my primary care physician.

Dr. Vacarro was more understanding and listened more then ever and talked it out with me. I have been going to him for several years now, and on this appointment more then any other I felt he understand my concerns and appreciated that.

I have been with Dr. Vaccaro for many years and he is absolutely wonderful. Completely thorough and caring. He was sorry that I was going to have to have surgery and told me exactly what I had to do so my asthma would not be started. He is so very good

Dr. Vaccaro was terrific. Took time to explore what the issue could be, possible solutions and made sure I felt better than when I arrived before I left. Also assured me he would follow up after the appointment and he has. Outstanding.

This was the first time that I met Dr. Vaccaro.He immediately helped to calm my nerves by being calm himself.He listened...so important!He discussed necessary procedures carefully.He made recommendations for screenings that I should pursue and explained why.I consider him to be a extremely thoughtful and caring physician.

This appointment was for my quarterly checkup and annual physical. I was quite tired and having an especially challenging day. Noting some frustration in my demeanor that day, my physician took a few additional minutes to talk further with me about my frame of mind prior to proceeding with the physical exam. I found this simple gesture quite helpful and it was greatly appreciated.

This was my second visit with Dr. Vaccaro. He is wonderful! He does all the computer updates first and then turns his FULL attention to me. He is more than willing to talk and explain in full whatever is going on with my health.
