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.

Dr Vanhooser is a blessing
This guy is about as good as they get. He has done major surgery on me twice and is about to do a third. He is also very congenial and upbeat about everything he gives you a great deal of comfort and confidence.

Human. Real. Caring.
So nice! I was nervous but he was so nice. And I got to see his face when I met him. I see almost no doctor's face anymore. And it helps (me) so much to see a smile on a face. Awesome. Great experience.

Great Doctor!
Dr Vanhooser did a quadruple bypass on me. If not for him I truly believe I would be dead. He has followed my health since and is truly one of the most intelligent and caring Dr's that I know. I Thank God for this Dr's care.

Lung cancer lobectomy saved my life
Dr. Vanhooser answered all my questions and performed a lobectomy on right lung. Squmacell Carcinoma was the pathology. Lymph nodes were checked and clear, so surgery continued. Surgery was successful and 10 days post-surgery I am feeling like I will survive. Tests show no more cancer thanks to the diligence, and experience of Dr. Vanhooser I an totally happy with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone. He saved my life!

Dr. Vanhooser and his office staff are exceptional. Mona, Cindy, Bambi go above and beyond patient service. Stephanie Vanhooser (Nurse Practitioner) is compassionate and the consulate professional. I had a minor complication from my CABG x 5 surgery. A seroma developed on the medical side if my right knee which needed out-patient surgical attention. The entire staff in Dr. Vanhooser's office assisted me in getting scheduled and we're very kind. Their courtesy, respect, professionalism and pleasant demeanors are exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Vanhooser and his professional staff should you require cardiovascular surgery. The comfort and care you receive will not disappoint.

Every encounter we have had with this office has been awful. The doctor seems arrogant and treats you like you are stupid. He didn't give compression stockings to us and didn't prescribe proper treatment so therefore the insurance denied prior authorization for procedure. His staff is short, rude and not willing to help. They act like they are too busy and don't care when we called to follow up. We had to keep on them to get any answers. They lost a patient because we will not be going back!
