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.

I had injections done during December 2015. The appointment had been scheduled well in advance and the office billing had worked with my insurance company on the final fee for that I had to pay for the services. Two months after the series of injections I received billing for an additional amount. Dr. Vega's office refuses to get on a call with me and my insurance company to understand why their charges went up..intead sent me to collections.
