Carlos Vela Brol, MD

Dr. Brol is the most engaged physician I've ever known. He cares deeply for his patients and treats them like family. I'm very fortunate to have met him and his wife Misae who welcomed me warmly and helped make the visit comfortable and productive. You won't be disappointed if you choose Golden Oak Family Medicine.

Dr. Carlos Vela Brol is a "throw back" GP that cares about your care as well as a great patient listener to your specific health concerns and provides a thoughtful approach to individual care. Very thorough and knowledgeable in overall medical approaches/solutions, he wants to spend the time needed to each of his patients like my wife and I to insure we get the best care possible whether a bad cold to something more acute. Very compassionate and accurate in his health solutions to both of us. We appreciate his medical instincts and care.

Having a health care professional like Dr. Carlos Vela Brol in your corner is truly a gift. I was sick in 2019 with an upper respiratory infection and the flu. I literally passed out in his office. I woke to a cup of blueberry tea and he had called my daughter. Dr. Vela Brol called ahead to the hospital to make sure they would see my right away. He absolutely cares about his patients. He listens, respects and values his patients. You are always greeted with a smiling face happy to see you. The trust I have in him is tremendous. I won’t see another doctor. I trust him implicitly.

Dr. Vela is an amazing Doctor he is compassionate and cares for the patient. He treats his patients like family, most definitely recommend him I will be bringing my kids and family to him.

I have been a patient of Dr Carlos for well over a decade. From my first interaction with him, I knew he was different than any other provider I’ve known. He takes the time needed to truly understand and provide compassionate and competent care. I am never rushed, and I always leave confident with the plan of care we create together.

I can validate some of the older reviews that did not complain about Dr Carlos, but the clinic itself. All too often, for-profit practices’ agenda is to meet patient quotas, and fit as many patients into the schedule as possible. These principles never aligned with Dr Carlos’s values to spend as much time as needed to provide exemplary care, which is why his move to private practice has been instrumental in his ability to practice the way he has always wanted to.
His recent move to his own private practice has completely erased the experience of the poor and unwelcoming front desk staff at Rocky Mountain Primary Care on Ward road in Arvada. His front desk staff is welcoming and as compassionate as he is. I have had some major issues impacting my physical and mental health this year, and I have on occasion spent over an hour with Dr Carlos. He is compassionate, understanding, and always involves me in developing my plan of care. He calls regularly to check in on me and to see if the medications are addressing my symptoms. I can call or text him anytime, and he always is there.
This is the way healthcare should look. Dr Carlos is a physician because he passionately cares about his patients, and I’m so grateful he’s now at a practice that he can offer the exemplary level of care he so deeply believes in, without being associated with unwelcoming front desk staff and the pressure of patient quotas.

Dr. Vela Brol makes you feel like every family member is his priority.The moment he enters the room and sits with you, his warmth and positive energy already put you at ease. You know instantly you are in the right hands. He truly listens, and his level of knowledge is remarkable.
My family, my husband, my daughters, and my granddaughter have all been Dr. Vela Brol's patients for over 12 years. In this day and age, with so many options and other services available, he is still our number one choice. What makes that even more meaningful is how he gets to know you personally. He can recall your visits, your ailments, your medications, everything you have been through together. The fact that he retains so much information gives you real comfort that you are in the right hands.

We followed Dr. Vela Brol to his new practice in 2026 and honestly could not be happier. He now runs his own practice with the support of MDVIP, a nationwide organization, and the concept is something I really love. It is like having a bedside doctor available 24/7.

Communication is directly with him, which makes such a difference. His new office is stunning, with state of the art medical equipment, a great location right off 6th Avenue in Lakewood, CO, and near to St. Anthony Hospital.

He is fully bilingual in Spanish and understands our culture deeply. Combined with his years of experience, that is something truly unique. He never judges you, whatever you may be going through. His professionalism is unmatched. You always know you have a genuine advocate for your health, and that level of care is what makes him the best choice as your physician.

Dr. Vela Brol has been my Primary doctor for about 15 years. He has always been the most professional, caring, skilled physician for me. Has has helped with many minor and serious issues over the years and I pray he never retires.

I appreciate the care I have received from Dr. Velabrol. I am an extremely hard case and he has definitely done his part within my medical health care team. I hope I can continue to receive this level of care from my primary care doctor. Also he doesn't deserve any back lash from his previous front end staff.

Dr. Vela is not only a great doctor but an amazing human being and I could not be luckier than to be under his care. I wait as long as I need to see him specifically, and I recommend him to everyone around me that says they need to see a doctor. My best friend is under his care because of my recommendation and another friend‘s mom who needed a doctor that she feel comfortable with as she only speak Spanish. All of us live far from his office, but drive across town used to see him. Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Vela!

I only put a 3 cause I was able to get treated and seen. The front desk three ladies could have not been more colder and not welcoming. I walked in with pain and one lady said hi but was looking at her computer not at me. I stood by the front not being greeted and or called over. Finally I get called over the other lady was not very kind made me feel embarrassed why I was there and an inconvenience. I got pulled back everything was fine and great there. As I was leaving one lady said by but at this point I just ignored it and walked out. I wont ever ever come back here, I have never felt so bad about getting health care then at this place.

I love doctor Carlos & he is so great with my family and the nurse practitioners are wonderful as well; but the front office admins make me question if it’s worth it. They make me schedule an appointment to fill out daycare/school/sports paperwork when I get there the nurses always tell the front staff no this does not need to be an appointment and can be emailed. This has happened multiple times & I’m sick of arguing with the front office staff so I just let them make me an appointment. You wait on hold just to be told there are no appointments when you’re sick for a week, well if you didn’t fill the time with paper work appointments then there would be openings.

Dr. Vela Brol is hands up the best! He is professional and really listens to my worries and concerns, and ALWAYS makes sure I'm good to go! I just love him and would HIGHLY recommend him!

He has a terrible practice. The staff are rude, even cruel to patients. He allows it to happen. Switched my sons to another practice.

Good doctor!!

Excellent when I first became a patient. Over the past year, reaching anyone on his staff steadily getting worse. There is no one answering the phones - even when I select "I am a Dr.". Took me 3 days last try. Looking to change asap.

So I made appointment for my husband and myself. My husband couldn’t make his appointment at the last minute due to a work call out. I had called the day before and waited on hold for over an hour to never get anybody on the phone (as he knew he might get called out due to it being 4/20). Their excuse was well we we’re short staffed and didn’t have anyone to answer the phone . Well that’s not my problem . I tried to give a heads up that we needed to change an appointment or that he would possibly be late and no one answered your phones ! So I thought since I couldn’t get a hold of anyone to rearrange the appointments that I would just take the appointment and he could take mine rather than a no show at the last minute! So I went ahead and showed up for his appointment and he was taking mine which was going to be two days later. They wouldn’t see me because I didn’t arrive 30 minutes early even though I already had all my paperwork prefilled out. I guess they’d rather have an empty appointment than filling that appointment with someone? So I rushed from the other end of town where I was working on my mothers estate who recently passed away, so that they didn’t have a no-show(wasting an appt), wasting gas just to be turned away ! I’m sure I would’ve sat in the doctors office just like every other doctor waiting on them for 20 or 30 mins.
I get rules, however sometimes you need to make an exception and be a bit flexible.

Dr. Vela Brol was my mother’s physician for 14 years. A kinder, more compassionate doctor I have never met. He spent literally hours on the phone with me, or on speaker phone with several of the family as we endeavored to help mother through some of the hardest months of her life, until her passing this year. He truly demonstrated the love of God to our family. His care for Mother through the years was exceptional in every way. I wish he was here in Louisiana where I live, because he would be my physician of choice! God Bless Dr. Carlos Vela Brol. His Care Coordinator, Hailey, also helped us so much.
