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.

Not for me
Dr Lucy had taken my mother off of her blood thinners that she was on for over 20 years. Said that my mother was a fall risk and said that her falling and bleeding was far worse than a stroke. I’m here to tell you that my mothers stroke mangled her. She couldn’t walk or talk and suffered terribly and still does.

No one ever answers & returns calls
I have been. Asking both her offices for a whole week. I never get a receptionist & no one has called me back yet to make an appointment. I can only imagine how hard it would be to get in touch with her office if I really needed guidance. I had heard good reviews but unfortunately I can’t make an appoiintmet

Dr. Lucy VanVoorhees is the BEST. She is caring, listens well, and really knows the heart and circulatory system. She is a great diagnostician and has helped me better understand and improve my condition. My heart health never had it so good. Kudos to Dr. Lucy!!
