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.

Yes I would recommend the doctor to family & friends. I am always well taken care of when I see Dr. Holtkamp. You're lucky to have her. Marie Spade.

Visiting Dr. Holtkamp is a complete waste of time and money. On each of the three visits I actually saw her, she spent less than two minutes talking to me. She was always rushed and didn’t explain things well. On my final visit, she was running more than an hour late, no courtesy of a phone call or anything. Trust me when I say it’s not worth waiting around 20 minutes let alone 60 to get in to see her. Ortho Illinois has some great practitioners, but Dr. Holtkamp is not one of them. My wife had great success with Dr. Daniels and we highly recommend him.
