Dr Velez is awesome. I felt he really wanted to get to the root cause of the pain I've been experiencing. Thanks for caring!

I had my first visit with Dr. Velez two days ago. I went in with really sharp low back pain that extended down my right leg and could barely walk. They took X-rays. Dr. Velez was very attentive and took his time, he answered every question I had and gave me two options as treatment, none involving surgery. This practice is not quick to the knife, as they themselves said. I opted for the prescription option (Prednisone) and after the 1st day of treatment I was 90% better. We set up a follow-up up appointment for 4 weeks after, and he even said that if I was feeling good I could cancel. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive as well. I highly recommend Dr. Velez for any of your spinal needs!! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Great visit with Dr. Velez. I appreciated that he did not start with surgery as the first option. He made me feel at ease and hopeful that my symptoms would subside with some anti- inflammatory meds and stretching exercises. He has a great bedside manner and I would highly recommend him for your orthopedic needs!

After a Spinal surgery years ago to remove a Cyst in my spinal cord that was the size of a nickel. Nothing but positive things to say about Jason. The surgery was 6 hours to separate the nerves and remove it. I hurt myself in a fall this time, luckily it was just a stress fracture that will take time to heal. It was great to catch up with him.
