Juan M. Velez, MD

Dr. Velez is great, his NP Pam is great, his VN Robin is great and his whole staff is… great!!! Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Velez has great bedside manners, experienced and handsome =) This is my second pregnancy so I know what to expect from an OBGYN and Dr. Velez and his staff met all my expectations. Happy I found him and would highly recommend him. =)

Choosing Dr. Velez as my OBGYN has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I suffered from secondary infertility after a loss from premature rupture just shy of 23 weeks gestation. After two years of trying to get pregnant again, I sought out Dr. Velez after Internet research and a recommendation from an acquaintance. He helped me to get pregnant again using a progressive approach (vs. another doctor who wanted to take more extreme measures right away). When I became pregnant, Dr. Velez saw me either every week (1^st trimesrer) or every other week (2^nd and 3^rd trimester) to monitor my pregnancy. He did EVERYTHING in his power to make sure I would not lose another baby. He showed up on his off day to deliver my baby. He is so so so warm and caring and he always listened and responded to all my concerns. His staff is great and his office is very efficient. I had to wait longer than I wanted to at some appointments but it was totally worth it for me. He is caring, knows exactly what he is talking about, and follows through. Thank you, Dr. Velez!

I don’t usually take the time to leave reviews but Dr Velez deserves one since I used Unilocal to decide on him when I got pregnant. He is exactly how the other reviews are saying: the warmest, nicest person ever. The ladies at the front desk are also nice and accommodating. Provided great care during my pregnancy and beyond. I am planning on having a second baby and will not go to anyone else. While I was in labor one of the nurses at St Joseph was telling me that he is her favorite doctor to work with and had she not worked with him daily she would have hands down chosen him as her ob-​gyn and delivered her babies with him. I would encourage all my pregnant friends to go with him as their doctor.

Dr Velez did an amazing job with my delivery! Every appointment my honey and I had he was there for. He greats you with the warmest smile and was always excited the minute he heard our little girls heart beat. Will deffinety come back again with our second little bundle of joy!!! DR VELEZ IS THE BOMB!!!

I decided to go with Dr. Velez after several of my friends who are physicians said that they went to him to deliver their children. My wife and I had a great experience with him. Very professional and with a great sense of humor, everything went smoothly from the office visits to the to delivery. His office is right next door to St. Josephs hospital so he is going to be nearby for when you go into labor. My wife and I are definitely going to go to him for all of our future deliveries. St Joesphs is connected to Childrens hospital of Orange County (CHOC) so if God forbid your baby needs special attention, you’re going to get the best of care.

Love Dr Velez and definitely agree that he’s worth the wait! He was my doctor during my second pregnancy and I couldn’t have asked for a better OB. If I decide to go for a third, I won’t doubt going back to him at all. Both he and his office staff are superb!

Love Dr. Velez… Great bedside manners, honest, compassionate, great sense of humor. Office gets a bit busy because he wants to deliver all babies himself, and if that means waiting longer for that sort of attention– then it’s worth the wait when it was our turn! Solution: I scheduled appointments on requested time off or allotted time blocks to accommodate his schedule! Finally, not only an OB/​GYN, but a superb Surgeon!

After changing my OBGYN 4 different times during my first pregnancy because of horrible service and there was no connection I was referred to Dr. Velez by a previous co-​worker. From the first time I walked into his office I felt at peace. I had heard great things about him and coming from Temecula, a 1.5 hour drive, I hoped for the best. From my first time I met Dr. Velez I knew that I wanted him to be my doctor through my pregnancy. I didn’t mind the drive. He makes me feel so comfortable and at ease and that by itself made my first pregnancy a wonderful journey! Ever year I still go back to see him for my annuals and hopefully I will see him more often as soon as I get pregnant again. Thank you Dr. Velez for your great caring, professionalism and support!

Dr. Velez is great, so warm and caring. But the wait is just too much. I liked him so much I put up with the wait thru my first pregnancy. But now, I’m a working mom and time is more precious than ever so, can’t do hour long wait-​time anymore.

This is my second pregnancy (first one resulted in a miscarriage) and both times I have gone to Dr. Velez. His bedside manner and genuine care are unparalleled by any other doctor I have seen or heard about. His office does tend to run a bit behind, but that can easily be overlooked as he personally delivers his patients babies and therefore is running back and forth between his office and St. Joe’s. My first appointment was with his Nurse practitioner who I did not really like as she did not even introduce herself or act very welcoming, but I have made sure all of my other appointments are made directly with Dr. Velez and I am never disappointed. I highly recommend Dr. Velez for your OBGYN and pregnancy needs.
