Patient Reviews
May 24, 2022
Dr Vela is an exceptional physician. I was almost phobic about going to a doctor when I first saw Dr Vela. She immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured. She listened carefully to my concerns, explained any medical issues in detail, and answered my questions thoughtfully. I have seen her for many years now. She is very well informed, caring and effective. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a fine primary care physician.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
