Dr. Vega is very friendly and professional. I always feel comfortable and confident during my medical visits with him. My visits with him are interactive. He always solicits my feedback on matters about my health condition. He always looks up my chart on the computer, which enables him to better discuss my medical condition. In addition to being a good listener, he always discusses my list of current medications.
