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.

So, a decade or more I went in to see Dr. Vanderwaal. After telling him about my problem he determined I was depressed and gave me a prescription for prozac. So, I went more than a decade where my life turned to garbage, I had no relationships, I couldn't get it up, I couldn't hardly drag myself to work, I nearly got fired numerous times etc etc The real problem was I had been hit in the face playing basketball and broken my nose. I had sleep apnea quite bad.

Amazing staff and the most trustworthy and caring doctor I have ever seen. A rare doctor that actually cares about you. He never rushes and always listens to you without prejudice or down talking.

Dr Steven Vander Waal, he's simply the best! I have been a patient for 1 year and 3 months. I needed a primary care provider as well as someone with a little more knowledge than just the typical PCP. Dr.V is an internist so he knows more in depth information about chronic diseaseS and conditions. I have had a hard time with a bladder condition and I was being given the run around by providence. The staff treat me like family. He's very soft spoken and to the point. I always get a same day appt.

Dr. Vanderwaal and his staff are the most efficient, competent and helpful group I have EVER encountered. I call and leave a message- I don't ever have to worry because they're always on it. They don't hassle me with prescriptions like most do these days. They get me in on short notice and never keep me waiting. I don't know which doctor these other reviewers are visiting but it's not any Vanderwaal I know. Plus they take OHP. I wish him and his entire staff the best.
