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. Is very personable, answered all my questions, and explains thing very well.

Nurse was very nice, Dr. Is very attentive and listened to my concerns. Keeping my pain levels at manageable levels is high on her priority list. Wait time is near none. I have been able to phone in for prescription refills when out of town or unable to come into office. I have and, will continue to recommend Dr. Vandellen to my family and friends.

This doctor prescribed my dad a very strong anti inflammatory and his kidney function began to decrease and she continued to prescribe this medication to the point of irreversible kidney scarring that put him in kidney failure. Horrible!!! Basic knowledge that you stop a medication if your patients kidney function is decreasing. Irreversible mistake seeing her and trusting her!!!

She had me as a Lupus patient. When I came to her with serious flare, headaches, fevers, the works. She told me that she "didn't have a magic pill" and that I "probably had fibromyalgia" and totally dismissed me. I spent months in horrific pain and depression and was admitted to the hospital multiple times and another doc discovered I had inflammation in my BRAIN that nearly killed me. Thanks, Dr. Van Dellen! You almost killed me because you didn't feel like actually doing your job.

She was rude and failed to even perform an exam, despite having two other doctors tell me that I had RA...she stated they were wrong. She was unprofessional when she told me that I was fat...Her bedside manner was horrible. AVOID seeing a doctor who is rude, unkind and just not a nice person.

She diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, and she always asked me if I needed anything for the pain and I never took any until 3 years later I asked her for something and she treated me like a drug seeker she was very rude and I'll never go back. She is a nasty lady dont waste your time.

Dr. Van Dellen was the 1st MD that I was referred to after being diagnosed with RA. I came in with questions about RA, but she was not helpful at all. She walked out of the room and I said to her that I had a couple more questions and she SCREAMED at me that my time with her was while she was in the room with her, and the second that she walked out, it was no longer my time. Didn't ask if I had more questions before she left the exam room, and I do not feel that I had taken much of her time.

Rude-accusatory&demeaning I was REFERRED to her for answers to specific medical issues & she accused me of drug seeking in front of my child when I specifically said I was successful w/ Tylenol & Motrin. She has no ability to assess ppl w/ compassion. FYI Dr.VD blanket judgements are dangerous in your field u should know some ppl require understanding-have pride-reputations and omissions initially could be a lack of trust & not a sign of ill intent.In all sincerity your not wired for healthcare
