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. Van Milder is an amazing obstetrics. I am very impressed not only in her great professionalism but also her spirituality. Her amazing personality and trust in God gave me the strength to feel that I was with an angle. I met her 12 hours after my water broke when she came for her night duty. My baby heart beat was not in good condition when she visited me but she promised me that she would do all possible to help me deliver normal. She monitored me very closely and updated me with all the information regarding me and the baby. It was 24 hours after my water broke and 15 minutes before Dr. Van Milder shift was over that I was ready to give birth. Even though another obstetrics was available to take over the shift, Dr. Van Milder assured me that she would stay late to help me deliver the baby. With her advice and courage, it took only less than 10 minutes and only 3 push to deliver the baby normal. I and my husband are extremely happy with the service we received from Dr. Van Milder.

Wonderful obstetrician. She was not my prenatal doctor but was the on call OB GYN who delivered my son. He was on the bigger side, estimated at 3.9 kg/8.5 lbs +. I didn’t want a c section but I was willing to do whatever was best. A lot of obstetricians would have just sectioned me to be on the safe side and avoid shoulder dystocia but she listened to me, read my chart carefully and said, if you think you can do it, let’s give it a try. And I pushed him out in two contractions with no complications. I feel so lucky that she was willing to give me a chance. She also pushed hard for anesthesia to come fast when I finally asked for an epidural. She’s wonderful, very warm and accessible.

Dr. VanMilder was wonderful through my Pre natal care! She took time to answer my questions, always explained everything to me and has great bed side manor. While she didn't deliver my baby, she took time to come say hello at the hosptial when she was on rotation. She's great!
