Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent.
Dr Velasquez did my husband’s AAA and it was so beautifully done that he was home the day after surgery with no pain or discomfort. She was very kind and caring and capable. Thank heaven we’ve not needed her services but would choose her if we did.

I had the good fortune to be treated by her and her accomplished team. I was very impressed by the time she took with me and the state of the art testing equipment she has, compared to the former (non UM) vascular surgeon I used to be a patient of. This is world class care. I truly appreciate her as a physician and compassionate person.

Lacks compassion. Seemed dismissive and not focused . Very disappointing as I expected more from a academic center. She should be trained on how to listen to those who come to her seeking care.
