Patient Reviews
Oct 05, 2023
Dr. Velders has been our pediatrician for 15 years. He's always personable, patient, and kind. Never rushes us and never makes us feel like our concerns are silly or unimportant. We really appreciate him and his staff and they don't want to find another doctor as they start to age out of the pediatric world. He's the best!!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
