They listened to all my concerns and kept me informed about everything that was going on with my situation. From the receptionists to the x-ray tech, to the nurse and lead doctor, they all did their thing for me. I'd recommend my family to them in a heartbeat.

Dr. Velez’s office is truly outstanding! From the front desk to the nursing team, X-ray staff, and Dr. Velez himself, everyone was exceptionally respectful, professional, and kind. The entire visit was fast, seamless, and beautifully organized. I felt valued, heard, and genuinely cared for. No waiting around, no confusion, just top-notch medical service delivered with warmth and respect. This office sets a new standard for what healthcare should feel like!

Dr Valez is the absolute best surgeon he took great care of me and made sure I understood everything that he did. Very happy and will not let anyone else operate on my back except for him

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.
