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.

Best of the best!
Dr. Vu cared for me and my daughter throughout my pregnancy and was the attending on call during my delivery. She's incredibly compassionate and kind, and never talked down to me as a patient! I really cannot recommend her & NorthCountry Prenatal Services highly enough. It's so, so important to feel supported and safe during pregnancy & childbirth, and Dr. Vu's really stellar.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Vu?
Dr Vu has always been very friendly, polite and professional. I enjoyed her delivering my baby and how she helped me stay relaxed while I was freaking out inside. She also did my tubal ligation surgery and she kept me calm again while I was nervous about going under. She made me aware of everything regarding surgery and I am so blessed that she was working while I was in the hospital. She is one of the best doctors I've come across in Humboldt county!
