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.

damaging surgical technique and no aftercare
Dr. Zaander did my hysterectomy. After several months of recovery, I had alarming symptoms. I started doing some research and came to suspect that my bladder had been damaged by a surgical tool during surgery and that there was hole in my bladder- a fistula. I brought my concerns (using the word fistula) to the doctor's attention in both an email AND during an office visit. She refused to to admit that a fistula could be possible and kept saying 'give it time' & 'keep doing kegels' & was dismissive of my concerns. She tried to rush through the appointment until I INSISTED that she refer me to a bladder specialist. A week later, the specialist diagnosed a fistula, and that's when Dr. Zaander abruptly ended all communication with me. After the hysto, I suffered for 9 months with the fistula before I could have corrective surgery. Had I been taken seriously, I would have 9 months of my life back. I missed a lot of work and suffered needlessly because a doctor didn't want to admit error.

Highly reccomend!
Amazing! She has been my GYN for years and I always feel comfortable with her and the rest of her team in office. She always asks if I have any questions and takes the time to answer them. She is efficient but doesn't make me feel rushed and provides useful patient education. I would recommend her to friends and family.

By far the best obgyn I have had. She has a great demeanor, she is understanding, and she is the only gynecologist I want to go to as long as I live in the PDX metro.

Bad surgical technique, not thorough, poor communication and non-existent follow-up. Had procedure done by her and her team with many complications post surgery. I have had to see three doctors to get her work corrected. Don't risk your health, time or money.

I never leave reviews. But wow, Dr Zaander and the other women in the office are absolutely wonderful! I have never felt so comfortable and well taken care of by a doctor. The only reason I didn't want to leave a review is because I don't want the office to get too busy!

She is very informative, professional, and kind. I had an IUD placed and though the procedure is inherently uncomfortable, she worked efficiently and smoothly to decrease my discomfort as much as possible. I very appreciate her work.
