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.

Cared for our kids from birth to adulthood!
I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Vega! He has been a constant in our kids’ lives through every sniffle, fever, allergy, and everything in between. He is jovial and caring; and we love the husband and wife family practice. He takes his time with each patient, so you might wait a little bit, but it’s worth it. I hate being rushed through my kids’ appointments. He makes everyone feel comfortable and listens to your concerns. He will always be someone special to us.

I am very glad to know that Dr. Vega is still in practice. Back in 1998 we switched to his practice after our prior pediatrician had given a cold shoulder under the pretext that were new parents. Dr. Vega always treated us and all his patients with respect and he always listened to our concerns. He even showed up to check up on our third child hours after she had been born. Somehow the hospital notified him and before we knew it, there he was! If you are his patient today, know that you're not going to find a better pediatrician than Dr. Vega.

Dr. Vega is an excellent doctor. He takes his time to explain everything. I Have been taking my kids there since my son was 3 months old. Soon he will be turning 17 and just to think that soon I will not be able to take him any longer to Dr. Vega breaks my heart. He is amazing!!!!!!

Amazing Doctor. But unfortunately his wife/ nurse practitioner who pretty much runs the office.... is horrible to deal with, has no people skills and has a very nasty attitude. Sad because the Doctor is amazing, patient and the complete opposite of her. we will be taking our 3 children to an equally amazing doctor who has friendlier, more courteous staff to make our experience a better one. I will also try to bring my family along with me.he gets 5 stars the office gets 1 in my honest opinion.
