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.

I am a retired nurse of 39 years. I was was referred to Dr. Bunten for a gynecology consult. She was so knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, and caring. She gave me options as to what could be done both conservatively and/or surgical. She also gave me the risk factors of each option. She took time to answer each and everyone of my questions to the degree I understood. I would have no hesitation in referring Dr. Bunten to my family and friends.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bunten?
I saw a lot of medical staff at the Vancouver Clinic about my possible miscarriage. Most the staff bungled my case, and I had concerns about complications. Dr. Bunten took the time to listen to my concerns and provided explanations. I was shuffled around and deeply depressed for almost a month. She went above and beyond to ensure that my situation would be resolved in a timely manner. I would definitely go back to her for prenatal care next time. Its rare that I trust a doctor but I trust her.
