Veca Josine Md

Once I am finally able to make an appointment I have no complaints what so ever. As someone who also works in a medical office, I am very understanding that it gets busy and whatnot. But there is NO REASON whatsoever that after several calls from last week till today that I have YET to get scheduled for an appointment. I speak to one person, they ask which doctor and if I have been there before, then they transfer me to another line. a dead line no recording no nothing for sometimes up to 20 mins. I have a job, I do the same thing the front desk at this office does. Every patient matters and should never go unnoticed. For over a week I have been calling to schedule my annual check up and I have gotten NOWHERE. Other than difficult scheduling I have nothing to complain about. Easy to get to. the doctor is nice (even though every year I go she keeps saying she does not remember me). She makes me very comfortable once I’m in the room.
Like I said before, scheduling and the front desk manner is the reason for 3 stars. I do the same stuff so maybe that is why I have such high expectations. I shouldn’t feel like I’m pulling teeth to get scheduled or inconveniencing them.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Veca. She is warm, compassionate, clear and concise in her interactions, and an incredible doctor.
My pregnancy was high-​risk, so Dr. Veca worked in conjunction with specialists I was seeing for a specific condition. The two offices shared information and updated each other frequently. Dr. Veca was always aware of any updates from my specialists prior to my arrival and always took time to address any concerns or questions that I had. She never made me feel rushed and she always brought a humanistic side to my appointments.
Being a high risk pregnancy, I had my share of ups and downs, but she always made sure to end each appointment on a high note and positivity. This gesture may have been something natural for her, but it served a huge purpose in my pregnancy and I credit it to keeping my overall outlook positive and happy.
My delivery itself did not go as planned. Just over three weeks prior to my due date, a sonogram revealed that my son had the umbilical cord wrapped three times around his neck. Since there was no possibility of him descending into my pelvis and there was a strong possibility of placental detachment and other issues, I needed an emergency c-​section.
Dr. Veca’s warmth and calm approach made what could be a frightening situation as relaxed and happy as it could be. I will never forget how she held my hands during the epidural (the hospital had a policy of no partners in the room as the epidural is given) and comforted me as the seriousness of the situation first hit me. She soothed me and distracted me, and most importantly, she reassured me that she had everything under control and that I should not worry. I don’t believe that many doctors would do this. She instinctively understood what I needed during this time and she took the time to make sure I had it.
The procedure itself went seamlessly. As you can imagine, delivering a baby who has the cord around his neck three times would be more complicated than a typical c-​section, but Dr. Veca made it seem routine with her professionalism and her abilities. The result: a healthy baby boy and an APGAR score of ⁹⁄₉ despite being delivered over three weeks early!
Again, I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Veca. She is wonderful!

Dr. Veca, was my OB-​GYN Practitioner, and I cannot begin to explain the lack of courtesy and plain disrespect that I received from her. She is an unprofessional doctor who do not have the natural inclination to reach out to her patients in a timely manner. I left many messages to her concerning possible concerns with my pregnancy, through the secretaries which she did not respond to. And many times I called and was told that she was working and she did not take the time to come to the phone to see what was the concern. Her inhumane behavior have me totally disturbed.

Dr. Veca is amazing. She is straightforward and compassionate, always willing to answer questions and shows genuine interest in helping you have a healthy pregnancy and baby. She was fabulous during my first pregnancy and delivery, and was the kind of tough-​love coach I needed to vaginally deliver a healthy baby girl after a long induction and labor process. If you want a doctor that’s going to coddle you, don’t go to Veca. But if you want someone confident, competent, and supportive, this is the OB for you. As stated on other reviews, the office at NY Methodist can have long wait times — if you can see her in the mornings, you’ll be seen quickly. I have no problems with the office staff, and by the end of my pregnancy, they were all greeting me like we were old friends. Her nurses are great too — gentle, professional, and kind. I loved working with Dr. Veca, and will definitely make her my OB/​GYN for as long as I can.

She is pleasant to be around even when you totally don’t want to be there. Really, who does? She is smart, understanding, and straightforward. She gives excellent prenatal care. She delivered both of my boys and I’m so glad it was her. She has this lovely assistant named Julie. Is it weird to Unilocal a gyno? I just think she’s great and if I had to go through labor, I’m glad she was the one to assist.
Her wait time can be long and her office isn’t fancy, but she’s worth it.

Dr. Veca is extremely professional and all my encounters with her have been excellent. I have seen her throughout my first pregnancy and feel very comfortable with her. She answers all my questions and is generally a pleasant person to be around. The wait times can be long in the reception room, but it’s worth it to be seeing such a great doctor.
