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.

My experience with Dr. Vanasse was that of a doctor who went above and beyond to get to a diagnosis for me when it was hard to find. Luckily for me, she never gave up and pushed my insurance company to get tests done and finally helped me figure out what my medical problems are. She is also a great listener and is a doctor I never had to worry about asking questions of or for suggestions from. Dr. Vanasse helped get to my diagnosis when other doctors shrugged and washed their hands of my care when they couldn't figure out my case.

She was not respectful of our wishes in communicating with our family member about the time he had left. She was curt and unprofessional. We left in tears and shock.
