Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2023
Dr Vega-Lelkes operated on my back because of my sciatic nerve & had been suffering from pain for over 30 years because I was so afraid to have my back done. He did such a great job & I was hardly (after 2 days) in pain & didn't need pain pills after that. He ordered nurses, physical therapy & I had such great care & he did such a fantastic job, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner, except I didn't have a Dr Vega-Lelkes to do the job. He is a warm & good listener Dr besides knowing exactly what to do.
