10/10 recommendations for this Dr and their staff. The staff is always so welcoming and helpful when it comes to my son’s needs and Dr Vela is the most energetic and supportive person I’ve met. I’d definitely recommend this office for braces and any other needs they may offer.

Dr Vela & his team turned getting braces into a positive experience. From the initial consult to the day the braces came off, from the front desk to the technicians in back, everyone was always smiling and friendly and happy! I’m very happy with the results, a testament to the professionalism and quality work done at Vela Orthodontics. Highly recommend!!

We’ve had such a great experience with Dr. Vela. My son actually doesn’t mind going to his appointments the staff is always so friendly and makes him feel comfortable. They take the time to explain everything clearly and genuinely care about their patients. His smile is already looking amazing, and the whole process has been smooth from start to finish. I can’t recommend them enough!
