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. Velez was my doctor at the Minneapolis VA for over 3 months from the end of July through the end of October 2019 when I sustained a spinal cord injury. She was the best doctor I've ever had and I am 67 years old. Dr. Velez is a spinal cord injury expert--the best there is! She is thoroughly investigative, research based, and determined to get to the root of symptoms to help her patients. I can't recommend her highly enough.
