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.

She has difficulty communicating with Black female
In the five years with her, I always felt not at ease with her. She never gave me that 'Warm and Fuzzy,' feeling. I felt detached with her. I'm seeking a new PCP now.

Dr. VanSlyke is the best doctor I have ever had. She is patient, thorough, and makes me feel comfortable to talk about my health and lifestyle habits with complete honesty. She takes the time to ask thoughtful questions and listen to your responses. I have referred my spouse and several friends to her. I wish more doctors were as kind and supportive as Dr. VanSlyke.

Amazing provider. Understanding, great bedside manner, extremely knowledgeable, and doesn’t over prescribe. In a world of doctors who send you out with script after script and often ignore your complaints, you will not have that here that from anyone. Everyone is great. Front office, Dr. Gaglione, & the back office staff.
