How likely are you to recommend Dr. Vela?
Dr. Vela was the Anesthesiologist on my Balloon Sinuplasty. For anyone going under anesthesia, it can be a little daunting. Dr. Vela came in and made both of us laugh and talked with us like we were old friends. When he was administering the anesthesia, I knew he was just trying to figure out when I was "out", but he made me laugh until I was. Then, I woke up and it was done. I am so appreciative of Physicians like this. He made my whole experience excellent!
