Please do not use this man, he is rude and has zero bedside manners. We ask questions concerning our grandfathers condition - with my grandfathers permission- and would completely dismiss us and told us to stop talking.

Also he had the preapproval for his medications but told us he hadnt, we had proof from the insurance company they has sent it a week prior. Save yourself the grief and look elsewhere ... read more

We have been using Dr. V for 15 years. He is an outstanding doctor in both oncology and hematology. His skill and knowledge is vast. His empathy and caring far surpasses most doctors.

This doctor is not worth your precious time you have left on this Earth. Even his staff knows what he is like. Stay far away from this unprofessional and condescending man. Yes, Velasquez. I WILL continue to let the world know the truth about who you are.

The preliminary results from my blood test looked perfect, but he told me to come back in a couple of weeks to discuss my results in detail. Since it was obvious my primary care physician had sent me there by mistake I asked Dr. Velasquez if another costly visit was indeed needed. He ... read more

He was very patient and took the time to explain what the treatments were and how they could possibly affect me. I had seen another oncologist and was extremely disturbed by their manner and how long they kept me waiting and then gave me wrong information. With Dr. Velasquez there was none of that I couldn't have been happier with another doctor or his staff.
