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.

Wonderful Doctor and Surgeon
Dr. Velez helped our son correct his strabismus. Our family ophthalmologist recommended Dr. Velez, as our son's strabismus had gotten worse and didn't seem manageable by glasses. We met with Dr. Velez and he took over, recommending non-surgical options as our primary approach. When the non-surgical options were exhausted, Dr. Velez recommended surgery. We completed the surgery and the results were outstanding. We could not be happier. Through-out the process, Dr. Velez was compassionate, patient, very good with our son, and always explained in detail what choices there were, any risks, benefits, in a way that was easy to understand. He's wonderful doctor and great surgeon. I highly recommend him.

I wish I could give one million stars in this review, Dr. Velez is best in the world. I live in Phoenix AZ, a kindhearted doctor here recommended the great Dr. Velez as someone who may be able to help rescue me from the results of failed eye surgery here in Phoenix which resulted in left eye being "stuck" in upper corner. The surgery by Dr. Velez was wonderfully successful. There are no words for my gratitude to Dr. Velez and to the Living God. I drive 6 hours for my eye doctor appointments and count it a blessing to do so.

I was hit from behind while riding my bike in 2016 by a distracted 21 year old driver. I ended up with too many fractures to mention. I had three traumatic brain injuries which resulted in a 4th cranial nerve palsy which caused a very complicated case of diplopia (double vision). I suffered with this double vision for 14 months. After many interviews with several ophthalmologists I was luckily referred to Dr. Velez. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and confidence. His diagnosis was confirmed with an MRI of my brain/eyes. I felt 100% confidence in my choice of surgeons. I scheduled surgery with Dr. Velez. After a 1 1/2 hour surgery I opened my eyes to seeing one Dr. He advised it would take about a week to have far away objects completely fuse into one object. He was completely honest with me from day one. I have had all my follow ups with Dr Velez and they have all been excellent. I can't say enough about how his expertise gave me back my full active lifestyle.

Doctor Vélez, soy un paciente de Colombia recomendado por la doctora Johana Villamizar. Tengo un problema de estrabismo desde algunos años en razón de una paresia de uno de los músculos laterales. Quisiera aprovechar su experiencia cuando venga a la FOSCAL., pero antes quisiera comunicarme con usted para saber la fecha de su venida y programar mi agenda. Tengo unos exámenes que me fueron practicados para realizar una cirugía. sería importante para mi conocer su email, fin contactarlo.
