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.

Kindest Doctor
Dr Van Linda sits & talks with you, one on one. Prior to the surgery and again, once you wake up from the surgery. He genuinely cares and assures you of your health score. My husband came with me and he enjoyed his conversations with Dr Van Linda, also.

This man isn’t just a horrible doctor, but he’s not a nice human. He gossips about his patients, and gave me an upper endoscopy in his office, without sedation, when I was 15 years old. I only wish I’d known back then what I do now. He wouldn’t be practicing.

I found Dr Van Linda to at least be able to consider my issues and how I have tried to solve them prior to my visit and he is willing to think alternatively which I give him props for. It's not easy to get into the office during a sick time though, that's where improvement would be noted..

I have a significant first time health issue. My primary care physician recommended Dr. Van Linda. I could not get an appointment for two and a half months. I arrived at the appointment 10 minutes early; the receptionist was not very friendly and I proceeded to sit in an exam room for over an hour waiting for the doctor. No one came in to apologize or inform me how long I would be waiting. I had to leave work early for this appointment and drive 40 min. The nurse said, "I'll let the doctor kno
