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.

Extremely irresponsible. He gives weighty diagnoses then provides no plan of care or solutions other than temporary fixes to symptoms. He forgets about his patients. If you have kidney problems and are considering Govaerts, I have one word for you: RUN.

Dr. Govaerts and his staff are phenomenal. Dr. Govaerts is highly knowledgeable, and extremely personable. He had already reviewed my chart and labs prior to my appointment. He was timely, and spent an hour with me. He used visual aids to enable my understanding. He answered all my questions. I highly recommend them!
