Meet the Doctor

(upbeat music playing) Hi my name is Dr. Laura Veras. I do allergy and immunology and I’m originally from the Dominican Republic. I was not familiar with allergy prior to doing my residency and when I did this rotation, I loved it. It’s a focused field but at the same time it’s quite diverse because you see a lot of conditions and you get a lot of continuity of care which I love. You get to see children and their parents, maybe their grandparents. You get to see the children grow up so you get a wonderful continuity of care. My husband was working here and an opportunity was available for me too, and I really liked it. In my spare time, I like spending time with my family and traveling. (upbeat music playing)

Vr. Veras, I feel, wants to do a lot of [ ] (i.e. [ ]), with out really explaining why. I thought it was for one thing, and it turns out it was for another. If I would have known that, I would have never agreed to the patch testing.

Dr Veras-Mena is always so helpful and informative. She's caring and she listens to what you have to say and works closely to provide the best health care that she can. She is down to earth and speaks in laymen's terms about the medical side of the things. She is great to work with and I feel my care for my asthma is well handled with her.
