Dr. Antenor Velazco was one of the nicest people you ever wanted to meet and a wonderful surgeon. He took parts of my bones that hurt and fixed them so they did not hurt anymore. I am so very sorry to hear of his passing and I send blessings and prayers to their families. I do not recall ever meeting his wife but I feel certain she was a wonderful person . Dr.Velazco you are truly missed.

I will really miss Dr. Andy Velazco. He did noth of my knee replacement and multiple injections of orthovisc/synvisc and steroids over the years. He took care of my knees since 1997.

Kathy and Andy were funny, kind, interesting friends. My husband and I enjoyed spending time and meeting for dinner. Harvey shared some of the same passions (diving, flying, cars). Kathy was a great friend at work, leaving sweet notes at my desk after my husband passed away. She was an excellent hugger and a wonderful friend. I enjoyed skiing, snowmobiling, and spending time with her. They will be greatly missed and will forever be a part of my heart.

Dr. Andy and Dr. Kathy were such wonderful doctors to work with. I was so sad to hear of the accident that took their lives, and I send love and prayers to their family.
