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.

It depends on who
Dr V was nice, but when talking to a young 38 year old man with health concerns maybe remember that 38 is still an age with life and instead of offering things to lessen that life. You find ways to grab it and take it take back.

Dr. Van Wagenberg is a great DR and person
Dr V. did my open heart surgery November 9th 2022. I was hiking and had a very faint pain in my chest. My wife convinced me to go have it checked out. Fast forword 3 weeks later and I met Dr. V for the first time. He's great, softly spoken and so reassuring. I'm now nearing my 6 month recovery date and I'm doing great. Dr V was a fantastic surgeon and a very kind and friendly person. I'd recommend Dr V. 100%. Thanks for taking care of me Dr. V.

Biggest thing for me was he did not seem to be on a hurry to leave but was willing to stay and answer questions.

Attentive, state-of-the-art knowledgeable, and command presence. Since Dr. van Wagenberg and the surgical and nursing teams saved my life, I hope my bias comes shining through. And when the time came to release me to the follow-on care of others, he did not dawdle in doing so. You would be in the best of hands.
