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. Velat’s is a highly skilled surgeon who is very caring and personable. I felt completely at ease with my surgery and he took very good care of me & my family. The whole experience from word go was excellent!!

Excellent Doctor
Intelligent, compassionate, & offered an easy to understand explanation of care. I felt totally at ease with him. I did not expect a down to earth Neurosurgeon at all, must be the good work environment & the help of his Medical Assistant, Tay. AdventHealth is the top of the line.

I owe this man my life. I could not have asked for a better outcome after a L3-L4 Microdiscectomy. Dr. Velat and his team were beyond excellent and I don't have the words to describe how much relief the surgery provided. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Dr. Velat!!!

Sad way to treat a person.
My wife fell and fractured her neck on Feb 21st. Dr. Velat instructed the ER doctor on the specific images he would need to help her and the discharge instructions told us to have her seen within 2 days. Dr. Velat subsequently canceled 2 visits and his office called to reschedule to mid-April. That would be over 2 months before an initial visit! This is a shameful way to treat a patient.

Dr.Velat was the best doctor I've ever been to. The doc did a 4 hour surgery on me, I couldn't walk . I'm walking and living my life again. He is kind,funny and he is a wonderful person. My insurance issues didn't phase him and he put ME 1st. He even cancelled one of his clinics to help me. I thank him, beyond words. He is THE king among kings, especially these days, he has been a blessing.
