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.

Very knowledgeable and kind staff. Linda, doctor Verwest nurse put me at ease with great personality and was genuinely concerned about my health. Doctor Verwest is a great doctor, listens to you, will always give you extra tips to better your health and doesn't chase you out in a few minutes. Definitely a caring doctor, you can always tell who likes their job!

Each time a relative has gone to Dr Verwest the wait time is over 45 mins to OVER an hour past the appt time... Typical excuse from the front desk "he's running late." What is the point of an appt if the Doctor does not honor it! I guess his patients time is not as important as his. But if YOU miss an appt...it is cancelled and/or you are charged a missed appt fee as well!!!!

I went to this "Google Doctor" two times and my wife a couple more. I am 39 years old and my wife is 37. My wife was born with CP and me healthy. My wife and I now changed after Verwest couldn't google our problems. She was told she has anxiety and I was healthy by Verwest. My wife now sees a neurologist and cardiologist for her condition and I am in stage B heart disease, left ventricular heart failure "Real Doctor verified" I wish I had a way to sue. His staff are horrible too. His cronies.

Staff is rude and very bureaucratic. You leave a message and nobody gets back to you. Attempted to get a simple preop. The entire place moves at glacial speed.

This DR showed little concern for my issues, he spent more time typing on the computer and telling me about himself then he did helping me withmy problem. I booked an appt for a new pt evaluation, after I waited for him for 35 mins, he refused to hear anything else after 20 mins, told me we were OUT OF TIME! Maybe if he would have been on time, we could have addresed it. After dx a new condition, he told me to come back in 3 months and the script that he gave me was wrong. Will not return
