Dr. Bianca J. Vazquez, MD FACS
Endocrine Surgeon, Scottsdale, AZ

I’m a board-certified General Surgeon with Advanced Fellowship Training in Endocrine Surgery now serving the State of Arizona. Born and raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico I’m fluent in both English and Spanish.

I pursued my surgical training at renowned Academic Centers: University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

My interest in the disorders of the Thyroid, Parathyroid and Adrenal Glands has been fueled by my own struggles with Autoimmune Thyroid Disease. The subspecialty training and high volume of our practice allowed me to gain great expertise, and low complications, not just on first time surgery but on complex and re-operative cases.

I’m fully committed to serving this community and often participate in regional medical education programs tailored to both patients and other providers. My professional goal is to provide evidence driven care to my patients in an individualized and easy to understand manner.

My free time belongs to my husband Jorge and our two little boys; we love visual storytelling, music and traveling. Our weekends are often spent gardening our tropical fruit forest and enjoying our Frangipani collection.

Panagiotis (Takis) Bletsis, MD
General & Endocrine Surgeon, Scottsdale, AZ

I am a board-certified General Surgeon with advanced fellowship training in Endocrine Surgery. Having completed a high volume of endocrine surgery cases in my training, I am confident performing thyroidectomies, minimally invasive and four-gland exploration parathyroidectomies, and adrenalectomies, including complex and re-operative cases. I am passionate about taking care of patients with endocrine organ disorders and have a particular interest in adrenal gland tumors as well as difficult to diagnose forms of primary hyperparathyroidism and kidney-induced hyperparathyroidism. Additionally, I perform general surgery procedures such as gallbladder surgery, hernia surgery, breast surgery, and more.

Since coming to a surgeon’s office can lead to anxiety and a desire for answers, I take great pride in addressing those feelings by listening to your concerns and explaining the best evidence-based treatment options available. Together, we will create an individualized plan you are comfortable with that achieves the best possible outcome while giving you peace of mind. When I am not taking care of patients, I enjoy being active outside, soaking in Arizona’s beautiful weather, watching football, soccer or Formula 1 on the weekends, and spending quality time with family and friends.
