The wait time wasnt too bad, considering I was 15 minutes late. So I was seen within 15-20 minutes of checking in. The nurses are very nice, and Dr.Vela is amazing. She is such a kind, caring doctor and takes the time to discuss and explain health issues. If you have a health concern, she will take her time to understand, discuss and explain the diagnosis and what the care procedure is. Amazing doctor, we need more doctors like her.

Does not treat anxiety. I didn't receive a follow up from office stating that she does not treat anxiety. I wasted money to get to location. Seemed dismissive and visit was brief I also had a skin condition she consulted with me about but just not much help. I wish I called the office instead of using Zocdoc

The doctor was very rude and the medical assistant was too. The Doctor kept pushing a Aids blood test on me. I will never go back to that medical office ever.
December 21, 2017Khaleelah M.Verified patient
The doctor and medical assistant was rude and they acted funny towards me. The doctor kept trying to push a Aids blood test on
me as though I was a drug user. I will never go back to that awful medical office again.
