Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring and smart doctor. My diabetes has never been better controlled after 12 years with this disease. Helpful staff, including wonderful diabetes educators.

Very caring physician. I was lost on the way to office due to construction. He was able to still make time for me and then took even more time to answer questions that I had.

Dr. Vance is a pompass jerk who likes nothing more than to talk about himself and his one or two success stories ! He doesn't care about you as an individual........he just makes rude comments and tells you he won't help you !!!! Take a pass on this horrible Doctor !

I was very disappointed in his treatment, his attitude, his unwillingness to listen to me (the patient). He has no interest in the advancement in thyroid disease research and the awareness that is finally growing. lack of interest in finding root causes to symptoms, If you are a thyroid/hashimotos patient this Dr. will not do more than put you on Synthroid and give you a lecture. If you want real answers Dr. Isabella Wentz author of The root cause and hashimotos patient is the place to start.

I have now been off insulin for 1 year after 10 years of treatment. Thanks so much Dr. Vance. I have saved thousands just in my co-pay.

Dr. Vance really took the time to understand my concerns. I had been to many doctors over the years and all that I was ever offered was another pill. My sister had similar experiences and told me that he was different. Boy, was she right. He looked at my whole body instead of individual problems and tied them together.
