So amazing and wonderful person and physician!" is a board-certified allopathic Family Medicine physician located in Orlando, FL. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Orlando, Florida, she is in touch with her Latin heritage and American culture. Her lifelong dream has been medicine and helping others find more natural cures for their ailments. She also enjoys traveling, spending time with her family and friends, and martial arts. Dr. Velez attended the University of Central Florida to fulfill her undergraduate degree; she then moved on to attend the University of South Florida – College of Medicine. She completed her residency requirements in family medicine at Florida Hospital Family Medicine Residency located in Orlando, FL. During medical school and her residency, she led and participated in several medical service projects including providing health education, medical care, and participating in public health initiatives in rural villages such as helping build latrines and aqueducts. Although Dr. Velez is in the early stage of her medical career, her commitment to those less fortunate has already been evidenced by the medical mission work in which she has taken part. She enjoys the opportunity to help underprivileged individuals improve their health and overall way of life. To fulfill this passion, she has traveled to many countries, including the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Thailand, and Panama, and plans on continuing to be involved in such efforts. She has received a Diploma in International Medicine and Public Health from The Institute for International Medicine. Dr. Velez believes in a holistic approach to healthcare. She also feels that the practice of medicine should be more than just the treatment of disease. She is a firm believer in that medical treatment should be the support of the person as a whole. Most medical schools, and thus most physicians, do not focus on the importance of teaching patients proper nutrition, exercise, lifestyle changes, naturopathic medicine, mind-body practices or relaxation. For this reason, Dr. Velez has attended a two-year Fellowship with University of Arizona Integrative Medicine Center. By participating in this fellowship, she has increased her knowledge in these fields and will be better prepared to educate and assist her patients on these aspects. Integrative Medicine incorporates both conventional medicine and evidenced based alternative therapies to help prevent and treat disease. It is Dr. Velez’ vision that in the near future Velez Family Health will have transformed from a general Family Practice into an Integrative Family Medicine Center. is the first person that you will meet when you walk into our office.
