Excellent visit, as always. Dr. Velano and his staff are kind, gentle, attentive to my comfort, and fast. Makes my 6 month checkups pleasant, and that's saying a lot, considering I'm kind of a chicken when it comes to going to the dentist.

I've been a patient of Dr. Velano's for 5 years now. His new office at 26th and Pulaski is beautiful and definitely worth the drive for me. Dr. Velano is always so calm and pleasant, professional and best of all, quick and efficient! He always leaves extra time to make sure to answer any questions I might have, which I appreciate. The staff there are very friendly, and the dental assistants are always mindful of my comfort. I would recommend Dr. Velano to anyone!

Dr. Velano was excellent! This was my first visit with him as I was referred by a friend. He was very personable, patient, and made me feel comfortable. I was nervous about getting my tooth extracted but he made it quick and painless. Highly recommended!

Dr. Velano is great! He's been my dentist for 2 or 3 years now and I think he's the best. He's very nice and laid-back; the kind of guy a part of you wants to hang out with. Always professional, but you can tell he knows what he's talking about because he can explain everything back to you in lay-people terms. And he never tells you MUST get a single procedure done; he'll always give you all the options. My last dentist that I had for many years always talked down to me and made me feel bad if I didn't do whatever it was he told me to do or if I couldn't afford the procedure he recommended. Dr. Velano is a very refreshing change from that, he's always happy to work with you no matter what your situation and he always leaves the final decision up to you.
