First off allow me to say that EVERYONE from the first person that greets you until you see your physician( I have seen Dr Velez and Peretz) is incredibly friendly and professional, really nice people! As for Dr Velez himself, I was very impressed. Excellent personality and he took the time to explain my issue with a clear program for treatment. At no time did I feel as though he was rushing through my appt( which was later in the afternoon) and I really felt he was a very knowledgeable and experienced physician. Highly recommended, excellent experience.

Dr. Velez is an absolutely fist class doctor/surgeon, kind and knowledgeable. He did performed a C-Spine fusion almost 4 years ago after an excruciating pain and limited activities due to a car accident. My spine (cervical and lumbar) was compromised. He fixed my C spine, and couldn't feel better and happy with the great recovery with no issues..if I need a surgical intervention for my lumbar, I won't hesitate to look for his care. Dr. Velez, and his staff are simply excellent!

Dr. Velez has treated my back pain for more than a decade with compassion, empathy, honesty and exceptional skill. Because of his knowledge and expertise every visit has resulted in lasting relief of pain and a better quality of life for me and my family. I am grateful for his choice of vocation, as it has been a direct blessing to me.

Dr. Velez was well prepared to talk with me and show me what’s causing my pain on imaging. He gave me plenty of time to ask questions and understand what my upcoming procedure entails!

Dr. Velez highly recommended. Unlike many orthos, surgery is not his first option.
