5.0 star star star star starDr. Velasco is extremely thorough and caring. She is sending me for xrays on my hands and feet. She is also sending me for physical therapy for a [specified] problem I have been dealing with for a year. My former doctor sent me for nothing. Northwestern Medicine is extremely lucky to have Dr. Velasco and her staff. I just haven't found a more caring office. It just doesn't happen these days. I'm absolutely thrilled to have found her!

5.0 star star star star starFor me she is a 10 because every time I go to appointments she pays attention and when I need something when I don't go to my appointments I need to ask her something she helps me and answers me back when I send her a message

5.0 star star star star starI felt like our doctor truly listened to what my daughter had to say about all of her symptoms. She was our 2nd opinion and agreed with the first... She went about giving the same news in such a nice way.
Disclosures
Jennifer R. Velasco, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
