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.

Others above echoed my very works. Dr. Van Reken cared with a great memory of past medical history. He simply is the BEST doctor I ever had. As a Vietnam Veteran this meant more than one can know. God Bless you Doctor and happy healthy retirement.

I've been the good doctor's patient for more years than I can recall. He is not just a great physician but a kind and caring person. He's also not afraid to point out when things can be better. I am very, very happy that he is my doctor.

Dr Phillip is just what you'd expect in a primary care physician... It's evident that he's not only knowledgeable and professional, he's friendly and attentive. My concerns become his concerns. All of my questions are answered, for the most part, no matter how trivial they may seem to other medical professionals, Doc makes me feel comfortable in asking them, and takes the time to explain things in earnest, and in everyday language.
