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.

Great Care and Great Results
I was referred to Dr. Vandlac for a larger than average kidney stone stuck in my ureter. Dr. Vandlac met with me and provided all of my options. Unlike some physicians, she encouraged questions and addressed concerns. After the removal procedure of the stone, I'm feeling healthy and well. If I need a urologist in the future, I will definitely give her office a call and would recommend her.

Dismissive and rude
Demeanor over a couple of visits seemed skeptical and rushed. Final straw was no show at checkup without any notice. They kept me waiting in lobby for 20 minutes before telling me she had left the building. When they reached her she tried to have me see an NP to discuss sensitive issue. Follow up apolgy call resulted in a recommendation for surgery without examining me.

Not worth your time or money
Doctor spent less than 10 minutes in the room with me. Sent me for a Ct never called or scheduled any followup. I had to call their office 3 times before the PA called me back late on a Friday and only offered me a medication that might help and might not… passing me off to pharmaceutical drugs not willing to find the root of the issue or willing to do any other diagnostics to figure out whats wrong. I requested a call back from the urologist and never heard back!! Don't waste your time or money!

The BEST!!!
With both kidney stone and prostate issues, I looked at all of the urologists covered by my insurance and chose the one that I was sure was the best and asked my Primary Care Physician for a referral to Dr. Vandlac. Couldn't be happier.

I was referred to Dr. VanDlac by my primary care physician. I would not hesitate in any way to recommend Dr. VanDlac to anyone requiring urological care. She was the best listener - when she asked questions - she listened to my answers. Her exam was thorough and I left my appointment feeling that I had been taken care of by the best. Along with being a wonderful physician she is also kind and compassionate. I feel you could not ask for more.

I have been seeing Dr. VanDlac for a year and a half. I wanted to see one doctor for my treatment in two different areas of urology, prostate/urinary urgency and Peyronie's disease. Dr. VanDlac has expertise in several areas, including both of those. I have found her to be very knowledgeable and able to talk in layman’s terms. It makes it easy to understand and discuss her diagnosis and recommended approach for treatment. An added plus, everyone from check-in to the medical support team are friendly and welcoming. An easy 5 stars for me.

In early May, while still at my winter home in Florida, I was diagnosed with a kidney stone in my right kidney and advised it was too large to pass. I was hospitalized and had a procedure to relieve the blockage and insert a stent. Although that was successful, I was concerned about the quality of care and competency of the doctors. After a week of recovery, I returned to Oregon and was referred by my PCP to Oregon Clinic where Dr. VanDlac took on the case. She immediately laid my concerns to rest and instilled confidence that the remaining procedures would be performed competently and professionally. Everything was perfect from there on. Bottom line, Dr. VanDlac was at the top as far as my lifelong medical experiences.
