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.

Warning, stay away!!!! Incompetent with managing schedule, relies on his assistant Luann to manage it. Kept me waiting for 6 weeks for scheduling my hyena operation only to drop the ball for a third time. She blocked all my attempts to call him directly to tell him about how upset I was for keeping me as a hostage waiting for help. I waisted 6 weeks of time waiting for a date that they said I would have in one week.

Dr. Vosswinkel has a long line of patient's waiting for his outstanding care. I would like everyone to know that wait is well worth it!!!! His bedside manner is only surpassed by his surgical skills. If you are fortunate enough to have access to his former patients and other medical professionals, you will find the same overwhelming praise. I constantly see him in the news for all the good he is doing for our community. I could not recommend anyone higher. Thank you Dr. Voss for all that you do!

Dr. James Vosswinkel and his staff are amazing. I had a wonderful experience with this group from making my appointment to the actual office visit. His staff is super courteous and knowledgable and been really helpful. Dr. Vosswinkel was super amazing and made me feel comfortable when I was scared. I am really lucky to have Dr. Vosswinkel as my surgeon and highly recommend him to everyone and anyone that needs to have a hernia repair, gallbladder removed or appendix taken care of.

I have an incarcerated hernia that requires surgery and have gotten all my blood work and other needed tests done. I've had 2 visits with Dr. Vosswinkel in August (after two visits with a urologist prior to that); an initial visit/consult and a f/u once I had all the test results. For some unacceptable reason, Dr. Vosswinkel has been unable to schedule my surgery since August. My wife has called his office weekly for at least the past 5 weeks. As of today, they can't schedule me until Nov.
