Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great care
I have know Dr. Vera since he was a resident. I chose him as my provider because he is an intelligent, thoughtful doctor. He listens to me, has allayed my fears a couple of times, and provides great care. Oh, I am a retired RN, CRNA, so I am not a stranger to the medical field: I choose my healthcare providers with care.

Good communicator
Dr. Vera explains the meds very well. He is politely direct and seemingly quite smart.

Very Caring Physician
Dr Vera is treating me for a painful acute access. The treatment is working. He called me on a Sunday evening to check on me. I was quite surprised, but I should not have been. He really cares about his patients. He is very experienced and he’s easy to talk with. So glad I found him.

Why would parent wait weeks for an appointment, in the first places? If I feel something is not to my expectations, I am my own advocate and will discuss my concerns with Dr Vera. I am not the only patient he has, and I understand he is a good human being whom is allowed a bad day too. He has taken very good care of me without ordering test that was not warranted. I am sorry the child posted about was sick and hope is better now.

This quack made us wait weeks until the appointment only to not see my child because they had a low fever. This joke of an MD couldn't aid a 5 year old and said we needed to go to an ER. Yes, an ER for a low fever where they are over run with COVID. So instead of prescribing something to help he wanted to put him in real danger. If you put your life in his uncapable hands, you deserve what you get.

I am 55 years old and have a lifetime of experience to draw from. I have lived all over the country. So what I say here is based on a great deal of experience. It is hard to come by someone that has true empathy and experience that takes the time to provide a whole health experience. Dr Vera takes his time and truly cares about his patients. He has worked with me diligently to help me figure out how to deal with a complex illness that others have been unable to treat. My life has improved tremendously as a result. Thank you so very much

After receiving information about my laboratory results, he called me at 6 am and recommended that I go to emergency room. He called several times, checking up, made recommendations for a specialist, verified my appointment. I appreciate his quick response and extra effort to insure that I got emergency treatment. I'm forever grateful.

When my son was ill and no other local physician seemed to have the time to see him, Dr. Vera took the time - he calmed my son down and explained to my son his issues in terms that both he and I could understand. While the meeting was conducted via Zoom, Dr. Vera's concern and compassion were clearly evident. After the meeting, Dr. Vera called me and we discussed the issues in more detail and he made several calls that were instrumental in getting my son into the hospital the same day. Furthermore, he not only identified the underlying issue that two previous physicians had missed, but he has followed up personally twice since then to check on my son, something that is unheard of in my experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Vera to anyone needing a compassionate, knowledgeable physician willing to listen to their concerns.

I seriously could not be more pleased with Dr. Vera and his treatment of me and the reason for my telehealth visit yesterday. In my opinion, sometimes you might feel pressured on a telehealth visit but not with Dr. Vera. The office closed at noon and Dr. Vera stayed with me, answered all my questions and more importantly to me, listened, thought through with me asking me lots of questions to pursue the best course of action from my symptoms I shared with him. The clinic I got to has lost their last doctor, I sure wish, (if Dr. Vera didn't already have other responsibilities), could be the full time doctor at the clinic I go to, THAT'S how great I thought he was. Just cannot say enough good things about Dr. Vera.

Dr Vera is very knowledgeable and very well read. He keeps up to date on all things medical. He is very thorough and really cares about his patients. He takes his time with each patient. He finds the cause of whatever is bothering you and doesn’t just put a bandage on it. He will also refer you to the best MD for your medical needs. He has helped me with all my medical and I highly recommend him. He has been my Dr. for 6 years. He is a blessing to our community.
