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.

Exceptional Provider

I have not seen her because I wasn't able to get an appointment even with a physician referral. Her Ascension profile states that she sees patients with cerebral palsy. After a couple of weeks and reaching out to my PCP again for assistance with her office, someone there called me back and said she does not see patients with CP and argued with me that it was on her Ascension profile.

Dr.Vanderkolk visit
I had a great experience when I saw Dr. Vanderkolk. Her staff was attentive and caring. Her staff were friendly and they helped put me at ease right away. I hadn’t had the treatment she prescribed before, but they were very helpful by explaining the details so I wasn’t nervous about it. I would recommend her to anyone who needed help finding treatment for headaches as I did.

Dr. Vanderkolk gets my approval!
When I needed to change doctors, she was highly recommended to me. She & her office staff helped get my previous records and welcomed me as a new patient. I have had complicated migraine headaches and treatments. I’m so glad that I changed doctors and found Dr. Vanderkolk; I trust her, she listens, helps you get the relief required to live a normal life style. I would recommend talking with her if you are seeking an excellent neurologist to be your physician. She has my thanks and gratitude.

Personalized Care Obvious Dedication to Pt Files
I first started seeing her and a PA under her. The PA saw me for appointments, but communicated with Vanderkolk. She would attend appointments, or have me see her instead, when epileptic treatment was involved. I was treated for migraines, and they both respected my caution to botulinum. When pregnant/breastfeeding, they took extra care to limit risks and looked for other treatments that I felt aligned with my goals.Around the time the PA left, I finally agreed to botulinum injections. I only see Vanderkolk for neuro now. She is amazing with the injections.I once got lost on the way to her office, and when I arrived she had just walked out the door. She came back, bringing the equipment and software to check my VNS implant! Never have I had a doctor do that for me.She obviously reviews my file before the appointment, and takes notes of my life. I once brought my son after he saw me seize. she took time to talk w him, gave him kids materials. Best neuro!

Fantastic physician!
The check in process was quick and the nurse called me back quickly and was super friendly. I did not wait long for Dr. Vanderkolk to come into the room. She is super nice, knowledgeable, listens to you and is open to trying lots of options to help. As a nurse myself I am quite particular with physicians I trust but Dr. Vanderkolk is fantastic. Overall a fantastic experience!

Migraine Treatment
Dr. Vanderkolk provides excellent service, both in person and virtually. She’s caring, competent, and does her very best to help with your medical problem or condition. I’ve suffered with migraines for years. After becoming a patient of Dr. Vanderkolk, with her help, my migraines are finally under control. Several of my appointments have been virtual, as I live a couple of hrs. from Nashville. I appreciate not having to drive such a long distance. I highly recommend Dr. Vanderkolk!! She’s wonderful!!
