Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Velasco is a awesome Doctor, a super Doctor to be honest, and he is a even better human being. Words can not describe how great and wonderful he is. Dr. Valasco is truly my Superhero. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I am privileged and honored to have him as my Doctor!

What can I say about him. He is the best doctor I have dealt with. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, listens and treat his patients like a human being. He literally saved my life and brought back my faith and strength to fight my illness. I am off from all my medicines and I am completely recovered from my illness. After God, I am thankful to dr. Velasco for all his support.
