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.

He's the best
I have been seeing Dr. Velez for a lot of years. He is the only Dr. that was able to help me. It doesn't matter how long it takes to talk to him about your issues.He has never made me feel like he was to busy to help me. He is a very good person and does everything he can to help no matter what the case may be.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Velez?
We have had Fidel Velez as our doctor for many years now. He is all about his patients and even does home visits for people who have limited mobility.. You can talk to him for five minutes and know he is not in it for the money. He is a rare one who is in it to make lives easier in every aspect, including his fee.... He has always gotten to the source of our medical problems very quickly and every one of the problems have been solved.. Best doctor around!!
