    Dr. Velasquez is an exceptional care provider. He is compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and concerned about my welfare. For instance, he inquired about the trip I had shared during a previous visit. He constantly investigates ways to ensure that my condition remains stable. He addresses my concerns, offers clear explanations with analogies, elicits questions and answers them honestly, and always provides encouragement. In addition, he shares tests and explains them clearly. He becomes excited when there are improvements in test scores, even if they are minor. I appreciate that when Dr. Velasquez shares goals for my progress, he uses We and not I.
