Visited the office for the first time today and the staff and Dr. Vela were kind and friendly! The wait time was short which was helpful since I was there on my lunch break. I brought my 5month old daughter w/me and had two cysts on my foot (that developed during pregnancy & were causing numbness & pain) drained right away, as I held her in my lap! Im looking forward to being completely pain-free soon! Great experience here!
