Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctors are to find, I am so glad we found Dr. Varela. As a new mom, just given birth-caesarian we would stay 3 days inpatient. On the first day I noticed my son kept periodically shaking the Dr. on call said it will pass your just a new mom worrying "no need to worry." Second day still shaking 2nd Dr. on call states "he seems fine, just make a follow up appt if it continues." Now on our last day Dr. Varela came to see us, I gave him my concerns... he quickly addressed them ordering labs and yes my baby calcium levels were low. Dr. switched formulas and had a follow up appt. Thank goodness for this man. We will forever be grateful !!

Dr. Varela has been pediatrician to my three children for over 17 years. I can honestly say he is an excellent doctor; he takes his time examining all of his patients and is a very good listener. Though the waiting time is pretty lengthy, I've always considered it worth the while knowing that the same love and care and patience he shows to my children is how he treats all of his kids; his dedication and kind persona is what will always make him a great physician.
