Patient Reviews
Apr 01, 2019
Dr. Anthony Vela is the most compassionate, professional and patient doctor that I've had the pleasure of knowing for over 25 years. He has been my Mother's MD for many years and she absolutely loves him. Over the years and even on weekends, Dr. Vela has always responded to our calls. My Mother was a patient at FHMC once and Dr. Vela stopped by on a Saturday to check in on her at 10:30pm. He's the BEST of the BEST!!
