I have been to Hazel Dell family care two times and saw nurse practitioner Emma Vazquez. I cannot speak highly enough of her and how well she calmed me on both visits catching that I was very sick the first visit and sent me straight to the hospital. I just visited to have a check up/well care visit and she took the time to listen and did not push for me to have anything more than blood test until I saw my oncologist again. To reiterate, I cannot speak highly enough of her. She made me feel very comfortable.

N.P. Velazquez always takes my concerns seriously. I have had a few times where other doctors wouldn’t listen to my concerns or issues and then I would go see her and she would listen and help figure out what’s going on. This time around I talked to 2 other doctors before seeing her because I wasn’t being taken seriously, N.P. Velazquez listened and took the proper steps to figure out what was going on. Now I’m on medications to fix my problem. I will always see her as long as I can since I know I can rely on her to help me!

A special thank-you to Nurse Practitioner Emma Velázquez for her assertive and wonderful care—and a big plus: her Spanish is perfect. Also, to Erica, a nurse who goes beyond being an extraordinary person in terms of care, attention, and professionalism; she is a great human being, very warm and kind. Her sincere commitment truly shows.

Emma has a special way of making her patients feel seen, heard and understood. She takes her time and makes sure that I meet all of my follow up appt w specialist that she has referred me to. If I need to communicate through my chart, Emma or Tamara respond in a timely manner. I am treated with care, value and respect. Hands down, the best doctor Ive ever had. She advocates for me and makes sure that all my needs are met.
