We, as so many met Dr. Damir Velcek at the Sunnyside office while meeting with Dr. Fran Velcek pre and post surgery for our daughter. He was a perfect gentle person and I will never forget the light in his eyes. Post surgery Dr. Fran whispered "God is good." He is and I pray that your faith will sustain you during this most difficult time.

With most sincere condolences,
The Conway Family

I personally met Dr. Damir Velcek a few times in the Staten Island office and he was a wonderful man. His wife Francisca took care of my daughter when she needed emergency surgery at 4 months old and she was equally wonderful. My thoughts & prayers are with you Dr. Velcek....The Rago Family
