I have seen Dr. Velasco since like 2014 until now. I saw him a few years while he was at dove , he left there and then I found him at novant. I wish he would get his own office and stay put. He listens to his patients and doesnt judge. He never rushed he listened to my concerns and worked with me on my care.he has left novant and its the same as before..please Dr Velasci let us know where u are.

This review is directed to Dr. Velasco. I don't know why you left or where you are but I wish you would show up! I went to you for many years and found you to be very compassionate and knowledgeable. Your face was not stuck in the computer like some doctors I have seen. You really took an interest in your patients health issues. You took time to talk to us and to find out what would personally work for each individual. I hope to find you one day in a hospital so I can return back to you as a patient. You are a good doctor and greatly missed!
