Meet Our Doctor

I can't say enough good things about this dentist. They are so attentive to my son who has visited since he was 2 years old. They know our names when we come in and are so patient when my son is anxious about a cleaning. The whole staff is friendly and the dentists are available to share their knowledge and answer questions. They've also done a good job with COVID procedures, we felt very safe and distanced from others.

Bellaire Pediatric Dentistry is the best pediatric dentist practice in Houston! The reception is incredibly friendly and efficient. They knew who we were when we arrived and already had our paperwork set aside for us to fill out. The hygenists are super with kids - kind, soft spoken, and comforting. Dr. Vela is the same, a real star. Super with the kids and thorough. He goes out of his way to explain every little detail and makes sure you leave with every questioned answered. Check out desk was the same super professional experience. I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Vela and the staff. Highly recommend!

Bellaire Pediatric Dentistry is the best kids' dentist office in the Houston area! The staff are always warm and welcoming and keep our kids feeling comfortable and happy. Dentists are knowledgeable and experienced. I'm so glad we take our children here for their dental care!

Rude and Incompetent - Overly priced for a screwed up service. Staff at this location is extremely nice - but the doctor is a horrible actor, who is not scared to lie at your face. We paid at least 2x what everyone else quote me - but i was more concerned for the safety of my kid, so decided to go with this clinic. He performed an incomplete job - the invoice clearly says he treated back molar tooth but cavities were still their and he refused to fix them. Shelling out 5k for a rude email and letter from him... no respect for this doctor at all! Maybe is biased against certain nationalities or its just his age.. but i will stay away till he get his customer service corrected and actually DO HIS JOB!!

The doctor may be good or even very good, but they have a tactic of over estimating insurance payments to get customer to accept the treatment when it is obvious that they are experienced enough to know exactly how much the major insurance companies will pay. In my case, they estimated my portion of the payment would be $2-300, when it ended up at over $800, conveniently right after the procedure. Unless you are wealthy enough not to care about money (as it seems most of their clients are), this dentist is not for you.
