Patient Reviews
Jun 27, 2023
Dr. Velardi is an incredible physician and person!! I started seeing him over 20+ years ago and even when I moved away from his practice and changed insurance that would not cover my visits, I still kept going to see him. His "bedside" manner as most people would call it, is hands down an example for MANY other physicians to follow. He comes in, takes him time and is genuinely concerned about you and your health. He is truly an amazing physician, and his staff is amazing as well!
