Not sure what to say?

Dr Vap was the greatest doctor of all doctors. Kind, caring, thoughtful, confident and did a great job. He saw me first in the VCU hospital after I ended up there from my liver failing, because I was in so much pain and taking Tylenol and Sentara just brushed me off 2 times and the 3rd time they sent me to VCU hospital. What a blessing for me. Dr Vap is the one sent to me and I was in surgery for my shoulder in a week and a half. God Blessed him with all his skills. It is a great lose for all...

I was extremely saddened to learn of Dr. Vap´s passing when I called to make an appointment last week. I remember my first visit to see him in 2023 as I was so impressed with his confidence and manner. I fully trusted his opinion and expertise. Prayers for his family and all those mourning his loss.

I was a patient of Dr. Vap, he did my knee surgery and was confident in my ability afterwards to be able to join the United States Marine Corps, I did. I´m now a 4 year active duty Marine thanks to him. Semper Fi.

Dr. Vap was one of my favorite VCU doctors, (and I've had plenty), because he was the perfect combination of highly competent, great personality, and wonderful communication skills. My heartfelt condolences to all of his loved ones.

3 years ago, Dr. Vap was my hip surgeon. He took me from a broken runner to one who is now flourishing, not just in sport but in life. I am forever grateful for Dr. Vap and all he has done to help those around him. He will truly be missed.

So sad to learn this today April 21

Dr. Vap was my doctor and I trust him fully. He was a gift ftom above. The medical field has lost a giant. My prayers are that he shall rest in peace until we all met again.
