Acute Care Aide
I am truly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Chris at VelkovWellness. His friendly and dedicated approach was evident as he expertly massaged my feet, providing much-needed relief. Chris's humility, along with his integrity and willingness to go above and beyond in his field, deserves commendation. Despite my humble gesture of offering a $50 tip in a red envelope, Chris kindly explained that my insurance providers have already covered all expenses. I deeply appreciate his professionalism.
I am excited to support Chris in his pursuit of success and will assist him in any way possible. Join us at VelkovWellness, where we prioritize building a humble and supportive community. Whether you're a client, staff member, mentor, or friend, together we can create a warm and welcoming environment.
