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.

Dr Van Kirk and staff are fantastic. They are thoughtful and genuine and truly cared about my health. They all worked hard to make sure my needs were met. Dr Van Kirk was professional and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I did have a little wait to see him, but it was worth it, I’d much rather wait 20 minutes and feel cared for.

I was really disappointed. I went in for pain in both ovaries, I suffered for months before I decided to see a doctor. Dr. Van Kirk did an ultrasound which was normal, and I am thankful for that, but he didn't explain anything about what could possibly be causing this pain. I don't feel like I even got a chance to explain my symptoms. I understand he is busy, but I felt like my whole visit was a waste. He just told me to go back to my PCP. I felt rushed, unheard, and stupid for even coming in.

Dr. Van Kirk and his staff are amazing. From Misty in the office, to his PA Trina everyone was so nice and attentive. I liked how they treated me and made me feel comfortable during my first pregnancy. I also liked how humor was used during the entire experience to help ease my mind. Thank you so much!
