Reviews for Dr. Velez

“Needing an apical abscess treated while working out of state, I was apprehensive, but soon realized I was in good hands. Dr. Velez and staff gave me the best care – they provided full disclosure, excellent treatment and follow up, but most importantly, their office has a calm and healing spirit, so often missing in today’s busy world. As I am still a reluctant dental patient at 60, I am so glad that I was able to use Advanced Endodontics for my treatment – thanks!”

“I was sent to this location to get 2 root canals and thank God I went here. Not sure how but Dr. Velez has only the nicest, most knowledgeable and professional people on his staff. What could have been a nightmare was actually a pleasant experience. Went in with a sense of dread due to the procedure and left not only feeling better, but happy. Keep it up guys!! Thank you so much again!”

“I was referred to Dr. Velez for a root canal. I wish I had been referred much sooner, after my first visit I had complete relief from some of the worst pain in my life. I am so grateful for Dr. Velez, his assistant and all of the staff. They were beyond fantastic! I went back for my final visit today, they finished up my work, and I am very pleased with it all. HIGHLY recommend their office!!!!!!”

“Can I give them 10 stars? Seriously, Dr. Velez and his staff are truly a blessing to this area. I’m not very tech savvy but I know true professionals. I have always gone back to work after the root canal therapy so Dr. Velez knows what he’s doing. I’m sure a lot of of you have heard horror stories about the procedure just like I had. Dr. Velez has proven that it doesn’t have to be horrible. By the way, I just had root canal therapy number 3… he has my trust!”
