to be a physician and to make a positive impact by
helping others. She was drawn to obstetrics and
gynecology as a field that brings together surgical
procedures and meaningful relationships built over time.
She values the opportunity to be present for some of
the most significant moments in a woman’s life.
Dr. Vela sees adolescents and adults for comprehensive
obstetric and gynecologic care, including well-woman
exams, contraception management and robotic surgery.
She also provides prenatal, delivery and postnatal care.
Dr. Vela believes in assuring that her patients are heard
and that they work together to address all concerns.
She encourages everyone to work some movement into
their days and to recognize that small changes can make
a big difference over the long run.
Born in Mexico City, Dr. Vela grew up in Kentucky.
She enjoys reading, cooking, sewing and trying new
