I have been going to Dr. Varela for about 4-5 years now and she is the one doctor I feel comfortable asking questions and getting answers. She really cares for her patients and will be honest and helpful with your questions. I would recommend her as your nephrologist!

It was as if I was in her office! She made me feel like I always do when I’m in her presence, total care! She went over everything I was concerned with and assured me that with the treatment n Meds she prescribed, we are on the most optimal path of taking care of my problems! As usual I went away with total confidence in what she suggested for me! Great Doctor and even if possible, better person! TU Doc V!
