Patient
If I could give lower than one star, I would. I visited Dr. Velasco a handful of times due to complications with my medication. During my first appointment, I was placed in a room near the nurses' station. While my door was closed, I could clearly overhear a conversation at the desk about another patient's medication refills. The discussion was loud enough for me to hear details including the patient's full name and personal medical situation. This was uncomfortable and concerning to me, as I believe such matters should be handled privately. At the end of my appointment, I was told I could no longer see this doctor as a patient. This left me at risk of running out of medication that is critical for my health. In my personal experience, I felt dismissed, interrupted, and that my concerns were attributed solely to "anxiety" without meaningful discussion. In my opinion, this is not the level of care or professionalism I expect from a medical provider. I would not recommend this practice based on my experience.
