How was your appointment with Dr. Vega?

Mar 28, 2024

I have enormous respect, admiration and no small measure of gratitude to Dr Vega for his essential role in my continued existence in this life. He removed a tumor from my temporal lobe this past February and unlike many surgeons he continues to guide and support my family and I on this most challenging medical journey. It is not simply his singular skill that makes Dr Vega so special but the reassuring way in which he supports his patients. He exudes a calm and charisma that translates immediately and his voice is a gift to his patients at a time when one’s very life is in the balance. Once Dr Vega and I spoke in pre-op holding I had no doubt whatsoever that I would emerge from the operation. I survived and thrived thereafter and feel lucky to have had Dr Vega in my corner. I would recommend him without reservation or doubt. His obvious expertise makes him a rockstar but his humility is a gift to his patients as is his concern for “hair-sparing” . My spectacular hairdo suvived the surgery and his consideration for it provided a light note of humor between us and revealed just how deeply invested he is in his patients wellness. In closing I extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr Vega and his staff and look forward to our next appointment.
