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.

Always a pleasure to meet with Dr. Velu. She takes time to listen and address your concerns. Also very quick to get back to you about labwork.

Dr. Velu canceled a rape victim's appointment at the last minute because "she doesn't do this type of thing." even though the victim was told to meet with PCP by police and er doctor. victim's pcp is Dr. Velu.

Dr. Velu has been my primary care physician for roughly nine months, after transitioning from another PCP I had for seven-plus years. I was nervous about establishing a new relationship since I have a handful of serious chronic pain conditions, but Dr. Velu has been wonderful. During my first visit, she was attentive to my medical history and took the time to look through the records I brought with me. For ongoing care, she and her staff have been responsive and thoughtful. I'm glad I found her!
