Christopher David Velez, MD

Dr. Christopher Velez, was absolutely outstanding. I came all the way from Florida to see him and Boston, and he did not disappoint. [redacted] I felt comfortable at the moment I walked in the door. He's sending me for three tests that are very important to my disease, and something they wouldn't do for Florida. I would recommend Dr. Velez, he is a solid 10.

Dr. Velez is always so easy to speak with. He answers my questions and he asks me questions that I can answer. He's always very kind and involved and I know that he is a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Velez and his team were amazing. They seemed well-versed in my medical history. They listened to all my concerns. They had great answers for me and great first steps for me to take in resolving my issue, my medical issue. They were very informative, very supportive, and they gave me a lot of hope that we will find a resolution or some kind of proper treatment for my condition. And I just really appreciate the experience I had with MGH. To be honest, I left a bit emotional, but in a very good way. It was really refreshing to find medical providers who you feel like actually hear your concerns and share your concerns and really want answers for you and want to provide you with the best service.

I've been a little bit scattered lately and Dr. Velez listened to me very patiently and insisted that I not be self-deprecating and I really appreciated that and he gave me good answers and it was a very good experience.

Dr. Velez is one of my favorite specialists on my team as he is very personable and explains information in a manner that is easy to understand.

Very good speaker. He explained everything to me

He has knowledge about Achalasia.

Very good thoughtful good listener all over positive experience.very considerate and knowledgeable

Dr. Velez was prepared, thorough, and proposed a factor-assessed game plan.

Doctors got the right medical staff to address and diagnose the ampulla cyst and surgeons to perform specialized procedures. TY it was a godsend.

Dr Velez knows my medical history, listens and responds thoughtfully. He and his team coordinate and follow up with me regarding my care. They provide the best care I have experienced at MGH.

Dr. Velez is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. I would highly recommend him to people with somewhat complicated health conditions like mine. He was able to get to the bottom of the ongoing painful side effects of my cancer treatment, and my annual follow ups with him always leave me with a sense of relief and gratitude that he is on my care team.

Very patient and compassionate!

Would highly recommend; the doctors, nurses, and staff were all kind and respectful, as well as being extremely knowledgable to provide necessary care effectively.

I understand why he is masked in clinical encounters but the dilemma this poses is how to make a personal connection. I saw no attempt to truly understand the person with the symptoms. He did not make a human connection. All it takes is a few words with eye contact directed away from the computer screen, which occupied all of his attention. I'm sure he's a bright guy, etc but his bedside manner is non-existent.

Dr. Velez is an incredible provider who helped me navigate gastroparesis. I wouldn't be able to function without his medical expertise. I'm a NP and find his knowledge and bedside manner to be incredible.

I speak very highly of Dr. Velez. I recommend him to anyone who tells me they need to see him for stomach issues, because he's a professor, a very good doctor who explains things very well and is easy to understand in their own language. I would definitely recommend him, both as a general practitioner and specifically as Dr. Velez, to everyone. Bye.

MGH gastroenterology is the place to go if you have any Gastro problems. I personally see Dr. Velez and I zoom with [redacted] and you couldn't ask for better care and easy people to talk to. They are the best.

The fellow was outstanding

The whole GI team Dr Velez has is amazing and helpfulI. I am lucky to have him on my car team for neurological problems. He or someone from their teams is always available to me or my other providers. Great doctor [redacted]

Very nice guy, very knowledgeable, obviously doing his best to be helpful and supportive to his patients.

they were wonderful, kind, respectful and very easy to talk to the only bad thing was they did not give me a lolly pop at the end they were great have a great day

He listened to what I had to say.

Dr Valdez, [redacted], and staff are always helpful, professional and caring

Approachable, respectful, he listens carefully and has done me a world of good.

Dr. Christopher Velez is a professional, caring, and compassionate physician .He's an expert in the field and I'm so grateful to have him as a specialty doctor.

I thought Dr. Velez was very thorough and listened to everything I had to say.

Dr. Velez was wonderful. He reviewed my record and was familiar with the problems I was facing. He presented me with a treatment plan that gave me hope. He was also very personable and easy to talk to.

Dr. Velez, and his Fellow, were exceptional. They had reviewed my records and were quick to differentiate and focus on problems. I believe they can help me.

Dr Velez was awesome as usual
