Dr. Christine Veenstra, MD

She worked with my whole family after my brother's diagnosis. It was a rough time. She made time to answer questions from me, my parents, anyone in the family who had questions. She was so well informed and also clearly cares about her patients.

Dr Veenstra is attentive, knowledgeable, and very focused on her patients. She always makes time to answer your questions, and takes the time to make sure you understand what's going on and what your options are.

I'm saddened by her lack of empathy and compassion and willingness to work with, and for, her patients. Dr. Veenstra seems to do that least that she has to and doesn't have that "we're in it to win it" attitude. To put it mildly, she is not a people person, which could be overlooked by some. However, her lack of knowledge with new treatment options is startling. She's rarely prepared, and never goes over CT scans or has them up to review. I feel she briefly brushes over the final notes. A cancer diagnosis, for anyone, at any age, is life changing and very traumatic. If you are looking for a doctor that has your best interest at heart, both mentally and medically, this is not the doctor for you.

She is very informative, listens to your concerns, very knowledgeble about cancer. Very vested in her patients.
