Early one morning as I was leaving the bathroom, I tripped on the rug. I heard a pop and told myself over and over that it was just a sprain. I called Dr. Velazquez and asked about something to relieve the pain. Dr Velasquez was out of town on vacation, but his office staff contacted him.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, the main building block is the personalized approach I take with each individual during their wellness exam. In order to prevent disease, I have to care for the patient as a whole, and not just review the laboratory results. Special areas of interest to me are high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol management. As a native of Puerto Rico, I am fluent in Spanish.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Velazquez
It started as allergies and end with pneumonia. I wound up in the hospital. Dr V was very kind called me every day to check on me. He is one of the Best Doctors very personable, always offers the best care.
I have been seeing Dr. Velazquez for several years for general medical issues. In all honesty, he is the best physician I have ever had. He is very patient, explains medical issues clearly and simply, and shows understanding and compassion. He is thorough and never judges...rather, he presents the information that I should be following (in lifestyle, diet, etc.) with sensitivity and concern… See more
Dr. Velazquez has been professional, intelligent, attentive and kind in every interaction with myself and my family.
I feel as if I am the only patient that you see when I come to see you for a visit.
I havent had the personal care from any doctor that I have from you even before you changed to the MD VIP platform of care. Now that we have spent about a year in this process, I feel it was the best investment I can make in my life to have a proacactive approach to the needs of my body as I mature into… See more

Thanks Dr V for all that you do!
Dr. Velazquez and his team give great service and try always to satisfy my needs. Most recently assisting with resolving a billing appeal with a provider that takes lots of time to deal with such an issue. These days are most difficult with healthcare with what's covered not covered. I will be glad to be on Medicare!!!
Dr. Velasquez has been my primary care physician for a number of years. I decided to remain with him after he became MDVIP because my experience with
him has been excellent. He is extremely personable, thoughtful, I believe smart and importantly, I never feel rushed when I see him. The service level from his office staff, has gone from OK to great. ..... I have recommended him to… See more
Ive known Dr. Velazquez for number of years know and I can clearly state that he is the benchmark for care.
He goes all the way to be compassionate and clear how he conducts his practice.
I would never go to a different doctor. Dr. Velazquez takes his time and really discusses any health issues. He and his office are proactive and make sure I am current with medications. If I need a referral it is done immediately.
I can not say enough about his caring manner.
In this day and age it is important to have a doctor you trust and has you best interest at heart. You… See more
