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.

Dr Vonholten
I am a 68 year old patient of Dr Vonholten's for over 13 years. I have a routine appointment every 6 months. Staff is friendly. Nurse Roxanne is kind, thoughtful and helpful. Office is clean. Dr Vonholten loves to teach, will listen to you and answer your questions. He has taken excellent care of me. I would recommend Dr Vonholten to anyone.

I cannot explain my frustration, the waste of time and money, and the disrespectful, arrogant attitude of this "Doctor," who I've been going to for 3 years and has never been very kind but never was as ruthless, arrogant and NEGLIGENT as today. He railroaded my wife and I and wrote no prescriptions, not even cholesterol (high triglycerides), he told me to take fish oil.

When sought out for professional help of my residual brain damage, Dr. Vonholten was much too assertive, borderline know-it-all without hearing of my brain trauma and health issues as a result of the brain trauma. He was rude, didn't consider all factors I gave him for my health decline, and made it apparent to walk out when I continued to ask questions I didn't understand at all, he left the room while I was in med sentence. He also yelled once at me as well.

Dr Vonholten is amazing. He listens to you and came up with a plan to help with the management of the pain I have had for 3 years with no results. He is caring and understanding. I am so happy someone referred me to him.

Love this guy. He is one of a very few doctors that I have seen that really care about people. You don't feel just like a body.
