Dr. Vela came highly recommended by another surgeon but unfortunately the office is very poorly managed. For starters, all the employees start the calls in Spanish so if you only speak English prepare to be passed around in hopes of finding someone that will speak to you. Even though I speak Spanish, I was met with attitude when I insisted on speaking English. On my first call I was transferred around 3 times, each time having to repeat my information until the last call someone advised I would get a call back. I had to call back again today since I was never contacted, and the lady that answered told me “I didn’t have a profile” which is why I didn’t get a call. When I explained I was being referred by another doctor and needed to explain my situation for clarity.. I was told “Dr. Vela only works with doctors in his practice”. After speaking to 4 different employees and the treatment I experienced I asked them to delete my information and will move on to another surgeon because his office staff gave such a POOR experience.

I had one of the worst experiences of my life with this doctor. From start to finish, everything was disappointing and unprofessional. The doctor never met my expectations, and I rarely saw him during the whole process. After the surgery, I was left with pain in one breast and developed horrible rashes. It was a terrible and stressful recovery. When I tried to reach out for help, the doctor never showed up to take responsibility and always avoided giving me an answer. I felt completely abandoned as a patient. This has been the worst medical experience I have ever had, and I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

8 months post op and unhappy with everything . I had a tummy tuck , boob job and lift as well as arm lipo with Jplasma. Doesn’t even look like i’ve had lipo done on my arms still look the same. My boobs i got silicone in them and they have sagged tremendously don’t even look like i have them done. called them to say can he fix them after spending 14k on everything and he said he would fix them for an additional 2k which i think is crazy due to the fact i trusted this doctor to do a good job and he didn’t i wasted my money.
