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.

We found Dr. Van Arsdall to be a breath of fresh air.She really listens to the “whole story” of the patient ‘s symptoms . You never feel rushed by her or her staff. Her “ bedside manner “is warm, empathetic and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her!

Last year in 2016, my brought my severely autistic son to see Dr. Van Arsdall for stomach/bowel issues. For years we believed his stomach issues were "apart of autism" because that's what his doctors said. Long story short, she was the 1ST to initiate testing. She listened to US! Together we came up with a plan and it lead to my son having part of his bowel removed... he is so much happier! Just wish we found her sooner, maybe he wouldn't have had to suffer so long! Hands down the best Pedi GI!
