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.

He is honest, relatable & I feel genuine concern
I have been seeing Dr. Vellinga since the beginning of Covid19 and he helped me through an injury that required surgical repair. I felt safe with him and the team he worked with - and I have a LOT of medical PTSD; my experience with him helped me get past that during this event.

Best Orthopedic Surgeon!!!!!
I had the best knee surgery experience ever! I highly recommend Dr. Vellinga, he is awesome! He didnt rush his appointments with me so i felt like a patient and not just a number. He not only listened but he explained things thoroughly. He was encouraging throughout my whole recovery experience! He made my knee feel like knee again!!! Although I'm very happy to be recovered, I'm definitely gonna miss seeing him and his staff (who are all just great too)! Thank you Dr. V!!!
