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.

Thorough, caring, outstanding Doctor, and kin.
Dr. Van Grouw helped diagnose my back and shoulder issues and came in prepared to provide a clear understanding about my conditions and options to address each of my issues. He’s proactive and supportive as he has tended to my family over the years with their orthopedic issues. We trust him immensely and would highly recommend Dr. Van Grouw.

Just wrong
Dr Van Grouw is perfectly lovely, but he told me I needed only a minor procedure to fix my knee. After two years of continuous deterioration and fruitless shots, I got another opinion. It turns out that I need a complete knee replacement and have for years. The new MD showed me how my bones were deteriorating and disintegrating. He could not understand why Dr Van Grouw would have said what he said. Nice but please go elsewhere.

Great Bedside Manner
He listened and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. We discussed my problem and treatment. I felt like we were on the same team as opposed to him being a coach and me being a bench warmer.

Absolutely perfect!! He couldn’t have been more caring explaining what was wrong with my knee and how I could still be active. No push for surgery at all. Even though the news wasn’t great, I’d say it was one of the best doctor visits I ever had.
