Just moved back to Georgia and needed a consult for my back. I was very excited to find Dr Velez at Resurgence Orthopedics. His demeanor is kind and caring and also very informative to help you achieve your goals. I am confident that my welfare is at the utmost importance with Dr. Velez and whatever my needs are will be met.
