Dr. Velasco chose to specialize in hip and knee replacement because he is passionate about helping patients return to the activities they love. Seeing patients regain their mobility and independence is one of the most rewarding aspects of his profession. He utilizes minimally invasive surgical techniques, advanced technology, and rapid recovery protocols to help patients recover efficiently and get back to the activities that are important to them.

In his free time, Dr. Velasco enjoys traveling, maintaining an active lifestyle, trying new restaurants, exploring local breweries, and spending time with his wife, daughter, and dog.
