Stephen J. Vega, MD Reviews

I am very happy with my experience with Dr. Vega and his staff. Dr. Vega is friendly, caring, straight-forward and down to earth. He is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and has an incredible passion for what he does, which is to make others' lives better. I had breast reconstruction and am very happy with my results. He tailored the treatment to meet my needs and I couldn't be happier. Both he and his staff took the time to explain all of the available treatment options to me and my husband. I found him to be up-to-date - offering the best treatments available. It is a long process and I have been treated with respect by Dr. Vega and all of his staff all the way through my treatment. I highly recommend Vega Plastic Surgery.

My experience was a few years back. The NP administered Botox that came out pretty uneven. A few days after the appointment (when the results started to show), I asked for a visit to see if anything could be done. I was told the NP was out of the office on vacation and the supervising MD (Dr. Vega) was unwilling to see me in her absence as this was not a medical emergency.Also unsettling, on multiple occasions, I overheard the front end staff gossiping about patients while sitting in the waiting room.

Dr. Vega and his staff are AMAZING! I had (delayed) DIEP Flap Bilateral Breast reconstruction done by Dr. Vega...and from the moment I met him, I knew I was in the RIGHT hands!! He seems to love his work (even saying so himself), and has a smiling, comforting nature; His confidence rubbed off on me and had me feeling wonderful and confident going into the surgery, during the surgery, and then recovering. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of any of the services he offers! Love him!

The Honest Review

I just love Dr. Vega and Christina. They are very caring and did an AMAZING job. They exceeded my expectations and all at an amazing price for such experience. This is in reference to the spa and procedure. From beginning to end all of my questions were throughly answered and on the big day Dr. Vega and the team were very supportive. NOTE: Dr. Vega is the only Dr I would have ever trusted for what I needed. He maintains a very positive reputation and amazing results. My deep respect rests with knowing if he can not make someone happy he will not take their money and leave them with unwanted results. <3 Thanks times a million guys <3

Mind Over What Matters

Very inconsiderate for out of state patients. My mother had mad an appoint for a consultation 2 month from last year. We had confirm the night before as well as the morning of the appointment date. Tickets were purchased, flights were book, vacation time was approved from work, and 1 hour into driving (just 30 minutes away from the office) the receptionist called to say that they have to cancel the appointment amd reschedule. This was on a Thursday, I explained to whomeve it was that my mother was out of state and if there was a way that they could of accommodate her Friday seeing that it was a consultation,as she was leaving that Sunday. That lady was very careless in explaining that they were booked out. So if it was the other way around we would of been charged with a late cancellation fee to accommodate the office for wasting their time, but they can do it to you without offering any assistance when they cancellation was on their end. After hanging up the phone with them I contacted another other with way better reviews (didnt know why we didnt see it earlier) and the lady was super helpful, I explatthe situation to her and she told me that we can come in at the end of the day seeimg that it was a consultation, with the only advise to come in an hour early to fill out the New Patient form. That my friend is service! The bright side is, if they werent so stink we would of never ended up at the other wonderful office. My mother now has a date set for her proceedure and I feel at ease that her trip wasnt wasted. Shame of you for being so careless, and not having another option for your mistake.

I've had two surgeries with Dr. Vega and in terms of the procedures, I believe he is skilled and everything was done well but regarding everything else I feel compelled to write this review. My first experience, almost 3 years ago, was overall excellent but I guess my decision to undo my first surgery really made him upset. My second experience was stressful to say the least. I was never upset nor did I express any negative feelings about him, his work, his practice or his staff but his behavior toward me the second time around was completely uncalled for, defensive, condescending, egotistical and far too emotionally invested in what I feel was a perfectly normal request. Cristina was also a passive aggressive and condescending witch (completely different from my first experience with her), who tried to change my mind before I could even speak to him regarding my request. Also worth mentioning, I referred someone to him prior to my poor experience and that woman underwent surgery and woke up with implants intended for a different patient! I was shocked and thought it must have been some very unlucky and highly unlikely occurrence but given my second experience, I'm not sure what is going on with his office these days. My second/last surgery with him was September of 2017 and I waited to leave a review until now to make sure I was fully calm and was sure that I wanted to do so. Dr. Vega, I wish you had not treated me this way. I really loved you the first time around. Also, pretty much all of my symptoms and issues cleared up after my second surgery. This tells me they were in fact the issue! I am now happy and far healthier. I have my life back.

Amazing doctor. Amazing staff. I had a failed gluteal flap reconstruction after a mastectomy done 15 years ago by another doctor. Dr. Vega was able to remove a lot scar tissue and reconstruct again. This time with success! With his patience and guidance I have finally finished my reconstruction and could not be happier. I will forever be grateful for his knowledge and his eye for perfection.

OMG. my mind is still reeling from my 'consultation' I had today. After 3 reconstruction surgeries (from a different surgeon), I met with Dr. Vega today. I was so excited that today was finally here. He was very condescending immediately, I did mention that I did not like the way he was talking to me, etc. and it seemed to get better, than bad again, he was throwing medical terms at me and when I tried to stop him from talking so I could ask questions re: said medical terms I did not understand, he just interrupted me and kept on talking. At one point he actually said 'maybe this isn't a good time, you are very emotional'. HELLO, I had breast cancer; a double mastectomy, 3 reconstruction surgeries (had only planned on 1) am in constant discomfort and pain, of course I'm emotional. I was so excited to meet 'the boob man', when all was said and done, I saw Oz behind the curtain so to speak. In summation, I left angry, confused $50 less in my pocket for my 'consultation' which I was under the assumption that a 'consultation' would consist of me explaining why I'm there, my concerns and he would tell me yes or no he could help me; of course he could he said and in fact, wait for it . . . he suggested perhaps I go to the other surgeon who I trusted 3 times and then, and I quote he said 'I can tell him how to fix this'. ????????????? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? He did say he would take me as a patient after we 'made nice' yet would not allow me to schedule a simple starting procedure HE suggested would help my pain that could be done in his office because, wait for it again . . . 'he has SO many patients'? What, who, when, why, how, I don't get it and I will not be seeing him again. I am not exaggerating people; I have 11 years sober and that is one of the many rewards of being sober, you don't have to lie or exaggerate. Good luck to future patients. Was not going write a review but 10 hours later TODAY, I still cannot believe I sat there and took it. I must have been in shock!! Over it now, tomorrow is a brand new day. God is good, he has always had my back (and apparently my front today!). PS, no star is warranted but I can't post unless I put one, weird huh?

Dr. Vega and Karen are simply the best,I could not thank them more. I have never experienced care like I have received in this office over the past two years. I will be forever grateful that Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Eastwood recommended you. Your the best!

Dr. Vega is one of the kindest most professional physicians I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I became his patient in November 2013 due to invasive stage 2b ductal breast carcinoma. He and his amazing staff took me in like I was family. I was treated quickly, professionally and with a level of competence that is unmatched. I had skin sparing double mastectomy with TRAM reconstruction in December 2013. I firmly believe that Dr. Vega and his team saved not only my life but my femininity and at age 35 that is still fairly important to me. I healed beautifully because I headed their experienced and scientific based suggestions. I couldn't be happier with the results. Whatever your situation whether it be cosmetic or reconstructive, there is NO other physician I would consider other than Dr. Stephen Vega.

Treated my mother a breast cancer survivor like a piece of garbage. This guy has no bed side manor and an ego the size of TEXAS! Telling a woman that scar left on her body is ugly and useless with a look of great discuss is unbelievable! My mother left crying after having some hope of reconstruction and possibly feeling like a complete woman again. It's disgusting that this man is allowed to practice.
