I am beyond impressed with Dr. Velasco. I am known to be picky patty in all aspects from front desk to bedside manners. I have ABSOLUTELY nothing bad to say. My husband and I have been highly recommending her to our friends. You are never a number type of feel in her care. She knows all her patients even without a chart in front of her. Even the Delivery nurses at the hospital raved about how they work with plenty of doctors but no doctor on their opinion compares to her. Dr. Velasco and staff are wonderful. I never waited long and always felt like GOD directed me to her office. Forever grateful for them and my experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such wonderful care. - M.Moreno

I was 30weeks pregnant when I started to dilate and having contractions. Dr. Velasco did everything and anything she had to do to make sure my baby stayed inside me. Two weeks of taking my blood, 24/7 baby monitoring and lots of crying. She was so caring and motherly to me. After she did my c-section, I felt like she truly saved me and my son. I wouldn’t go to anyone else but her.

Dr. Velasco had a terrible attitude, spoke in a condescending manner and imparted unsolicited advice on a matter that was non-medical. If you can, go to ANYONE except her.

I like the fact that they don't keep you waiting for a long time before the doctor sees you. Also that Dr. Velasco takes her time in listening to your concerns and explains in detail your results. She is very patient and friendly.
