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 Van Meter has all the personal and professional traits you would want your primary care physician to have. He’s deeply interested in his patient’s welfare and always seeks the best resolution in regard to his patient’s medical concerns. From the moment that I met him I felt confident in his medical advice and care. I couldn’t ask for a more qualified and totally caring primary physician.

Highly recommended
Dr. Van Meter has the ability to tell me in understandable terms what needs to be done with my health. I never felt rushed with his thoughtful questions during my visits. Helen Rice, APRN who covers for Dr. Van Meter can make me feel like I'm talking to Mother Teresa with a medical degree. I couldn't ask for a more caring and thoughtful team than these two. Also, the staff is on top of their game. Good job from all, what a team!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Van Meter is a wonderful doctor. He takes the time to listen and shows genuine concern. As a general practitioner he seems to be highly knowledgeable of the entire body and how every aspect of it works together in unison to be healthful; he's always spot-on with diagnosis. I love being his patient because he's caring, humble, smart and extremely kind. HIs entire staff is really nice, too, and they seem to work together well to make a pleasant environment for patients and staff alike.

Knowledgeable, skilled, and clear communication.
Dr. Kipp Van Meter has been my PCP for a few years now. During this time I have always felt that he has had not only my short term concerns in mind but the long term and big picture. He's open and clear about things and is genuinely pleasant to work with. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

I recently had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Van Meter, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment I stepped into his office, I was greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of care. Dr. Van Meter's exceptional attention to detail, combined with his tremendous bedside manner, truly sets him apart as a primary care physician.Dr. Van Meter's attention to detail is unparalleled.

Not the care I expected
When I visited Dr Van Meter last week, I was greeted with no interest to learn what was wrong with me. Total lack of care for me as his patient. Dr can be caring or very un interested in my health concerns. Would not recommend this doctor.

Not good.
Told me my edema was all in my head. Failed to review ER charts. Didnt order labs or any diagnostics to follow up from the ER. Lazy. Incompetent. Told me his cousins get a little bloated and to not worry about it. Sir, going up 3 pant sizes in a week is not 'a little bloat'. Might as well have asked me if I was on my period and called me crazy. Hes fine if you want someone to just like write down your vitals and check your cholesterol but dont expect more.
