Emily Velazquez earned her Bachelor of Science in biology from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio and her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. In addition to being a board-certified physician assistant, she holds certificates in basic life support and advanced cardiovascular life support.
Emily brings to her practice years of experience in internal medicine and other specialties, and as a medical assistant and certified pharmacy technician. She enjoys primary care and internal medicine, with a special clinical interest in cardiology.
Emily’s approach to patient care is rooted in compassion, communication and teamwork. Because she believes every patient deserves to be heard, she makes it a priority to listen to their concerns, answer their questions and involve them in their care decisions. She also views herself as part of a larger health care team, working together to provide the best outcomes.
Outside of medicine, Emily enjoys staying active by going to the gym, playing pickleball and hiking, as well as spending time with family and friends, traveling and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops.
