Dr. Velez operated on me first in 2021 for three spinal fusions and again in 2025 for a laminectomy. He has an excellent bed side manner, is extremely attentive and compassionate, answers all questions with explanations, and is never in a hurry to get me in and out. My surgeries are total successes and I highly recommend him. There is no need to look any further if you are needing surgery.
