Patient Reviews
Feb 03, 2024
I am in awe of what Dr. Vega did for me. He virtually saved my life. His diagnosis of a brain abscess and swelling was right on. He and his associates (especially Dr. Mary Albrecht of Infectious Diseases) were able to pinpoint the problem and treat it with the proper surgery combined with the best antibiotics. It has now been one year since the operation and treatment. Through the appropriate rehabilitation at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and careful supervision of Dr. Vega I have miraculously regained full function of my limbs. Thank you all for your outstanding care!
