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 VanWagner is part of the team that kept me alive until a donor liver was available. As my one of my main contacts post transplant Dr VanWagner has monitored my recovery consistently monitoring my tests and adjusting medications as needed. During consultations she imparts knowledge. Though she has many demands on her time, she is 100 percent present, answering all of our questions and concerns. She is supported by a great team that is patient centric.

I recently saw Dr.Wagner for a few visits. She never looked up from her computer and rarely looked at me when she allowed me to tell her how I was feeling. Looking at her bio, I see she does a lot of data analysis and research. She could benefit from taking a course on empathy and communication. I ended up going elsewhere for my care and am awaiting transplant.
