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.

I am a tad bit late with doing my review but I know how important these are. Dr. VanGelder was my twins doctor when they were younger. At this time I felt his mind was always somewhere else and he was always in a rush. Otherwise, his care was good and my kids really liked him. Presently, we do not see him but a year ago he was present during my son's birth. He did great and I felt he was actually there. Sometimes you have to remember that our doctors are people too and they have off days like any other human. However, when I was younger I did not really consider this and as I look back I laugh at myself for it. So if asked if I would recommend Dr.VanGelder I would have to say yes.
