Patient Reviews
Apr 10, 2022
Dr. Velasco makes you feel like you can relax in his capable hands. He was very knowledgeable, explained all lab reports, set up referrals, looked me in the eye when he talked, took ample time for my appointments, and ordered necessary labs. Communication was amazing! From start to finish, he was attentive and professional. Every treatment option was explained clearly and honestly. He is the person you want in your corner when the diagnosis is cancer!
