Patient Comments
Dr. Vega is fantastic. In the time she's been treating me she's had all necessary tests performed & recommended treatment accordingly. Besides her proficiency as a physician she's very compassionate & caring.
Can't say enough about Dr. Vega and the PA. Their professionalism and attentiveness were so much appreciated

Dr. Vega is an asset to TUH
All of my appointments with Dr. Maria Vega are always a very positive and very helpful experience. She is a skilled and compassionate pulmonologist. She is a gift to not only me, and my particular breathing issues, but others I know that are under her care - feel the same way. Thank you Dr. Vega !!
