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.

No compassion at all
This doctor is extremely rude. He cuts you off when you're asking legitimate questions about your procedure or medications. He has no compassion for patients and treats them as if they are toddlers inconveniencing his day. Absolutely zero stars. If you are scheduled with him, I would highly reconsider it. This individual should not be a doctor if he can't take the time to make patients feel comfortable in his care.

Bed side manner
My mother had an appointment with this radiologist who thinks he's too good to answer any questions. She would go to ask a question and he would cut her off with an attitude like he couldn't be bothered. He is VERY lucky someone who wouldn't tolerate his disrespect (me) wasn't there with her because I would have let him know what he could do with his attitude. He can feel free to contact me if needed, I have the time. Unlike him apparently

Just had 2 epidurals
Have severe sciatica and lower back pain and was seen by Dr. Ramirez of Touro and then referred for epidurals after meds were not helping much. Dr Vanderbrook administered the epidurals and was wonderful. As a matter of fact the entire team that was on that day was awesome! Dr. Vanderbrook listens, explains beautifully and has a great sense of humor!!

He is kind and patient and highly skilled. After suffering for months with lower back and leg pain, he administered a steroid epidural injection. Within 24 hours I was pain free.

Dr. Vanderbrook Is such a wonderful doctor. I feel very blessed that I found him. He is so patient and kind and genuinely concerned with the patient. He took his time explaining my procedure to make sure that I understood everything well enough to make an informed decision about my health. Thanks Dr. Vanderbrook!
