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.

Best neurologist there is
Dr. De La Vega is THE MOST on it, thorough, and responsive neurologist there is. He’s been helping us throughout my mom’s extremely complex neurological condition which has been so overwhelming but he’s the one doctor out there who TRULY CARES. His passion for his work shows and we can’t recommend him enough. His assistant Auzay is the most helpful, friendly, responsive and joy to work with. They’re the dream team and we are so grateful for everything they do.

Extremely competent neurologist
He was my doc when I was hospitalized at Scripps Hospital, Genessee, following a stroke. I was in the hospital 9 days; he made time to see me daily. Doctor was "real"; he told me all relevant info re. my condition. He is my inspiration for getting better. And to add a fun dimension to all this, he has a great sense of humor. I'll miss him.

Extremely sharp, intelligent and caring doctor. Takes time to explain what’s happening, listens to your concerns and never leave you in the limbo. Very thorough in finding out the root cause, remembers every tiny detail of your symptoms and absorbs everything like a sponge. He will make sure to call you even after the office hours to answer your questions or go over the test results. To me and my family, saying he's "god sent" is an understatement!! I feel safe in his care, thank you Dr De La Vega.

Dr. De La Vega saved my life and I dare say that no one else could have known what to do with the rare condition that I had. Another hospital emergency room sent me home with pain pills as they thought their MRI machine was broken. In actuality, they didn't know what they were seeing. DLV is the absolute best Neurologist in the world and I highly recommend him! In fact, when my husband needed to see a Neurologist, there was no question in either of our minds about who that would be.
