Dr. Vega is friendly and has done great job monitoring my condition, the only downfall was the wait time. Other than that, I highly recommend as the practice staff are friendly and courteous.

Extremely rude. I went for malaria medication but instead she advised me to not go on the journey I spent months planning. She condemned my way of life and suggested that I take an antidepressant. I'm not depressed. I was aggravated that she wouldn't help me get the medication I needed. She was extremely derogatory and power seeking.
More than 1 year agoElizabeth P.Verified patient
I was delighted with her kindness, professionalism, cleverness, awareness, ability to explain and advise and am so happy to be her new patient.
