Dr Velez is not only knowledgeable and accomplished technically, but instantly put me at ease with her ability to connect to her patients. My consultation appointment was educational and gave me the confidence I was choosing the right option forward. The day of surgery, she spent at least 45 minutes with us prior to the procedure to answer all my last minute questions and to prepare me for the next step of recovery.

Dr. Velez is so kind and caring. She was direct and to the point, answering all of my questions along the way. Dr. Velez made a plan as to the next testing and steps to get a diagnosis and to then decide how to treat the problem. She reached out to colleagues and suggested I may want to schedule an appointment to talk with one or two of them to see what they had to offer me.The cancer diagnosis was shocking and not at all what I expected. She encouraged me to remain positive and offered for me to call her at any time. That evening she called me at home (7:30 pm) to check to see how I was doing emotionally. That was above and beyond what was expected of her but certainly made me feel well cared for. She was calling from the office and I am sure she was exhausted after a long day.These past couple of weeks were the first time I have ever met Dr. Velez and I can't thank her enough for her excellent care.

Outstanding Care and Excellent doctor bedside manner. She is far above the normal doctors I am accustomed to visiting. She was competent, knowledgeable, reassuring, and presented personal information in a compassionate, non-judgmental way. As a private and shy person, I don't think this type of information could be delivered any better. Top
