Dr. Vijaya Lakshmi Vella, MD

Told me my miscarriage as a minor was god's plan, put me on multiple different birth controls that have made my pain exponentially worse & does not listen to complaints of pain that have worsened over years

The worst bedside manner ever. Lacks current knowledge of how to care for women taking certain medications. I told her my kidneys were hurting, there was massive blood in my urine and she wrote me a script for antibiotic, (thinking it was a bladder infection) when in fact my kidneys were the problem associated with preeclampsia. I had to probe her to look over my file, otherwise she would have never even noticed I had issues at all. I take medication that has shown to be not harmful to a fetus, and she scolded me, asking why didnt I use protection or abort. Or why hasn't my other doctor weaned me from said medication, when in fact that protocol is the exact opposite of what the current literature recommends for a mother taking said medication. Her lack of knowledge and judgmental disposition was a huge turn off.

Blessed to have a caring doctor like Dr Vella

I started visiting Dr. Vella During my first pregnancy. From the day one I felt bonded with her. All the questions were answered in exceptional way. All the needed knowledge were given. Staff is very friendly. Thank you all!!
