recommendAUG 22, 2017 • Michael M. in Victorville, CA
This is the third time i have been seen by Dr. Velasquez and every time he was short and insensitive and literally walked out of the room all three times while i was talking to him. His nurse asked me if i had any other concerns about my health so i told her that my feet were in great pain from work and it was getting worse. He literally smirked and said what do want me to do with this? Every time i asked him to address my concerns such as wanting a colonoscopy because cancer runs in my family, grandpa died from it and father also had it but he tells me at what age did they get it with a smirk and an attitude. Preventative medicine, Hippocratic oath , means nothing to this man. This is the second time i showed concern for me having cancer and this man would not even look into it in any way. I can only think that this is because i am on medical and he wants me to go to another doctor. I am a Naval Veteran and should not be treated this way.
