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.

My doctors are the BEST!

The doctor told me I would set up for a different prep for colonoscopy but when I went to his home office I received the same instructions.

The very best around!
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Von Elten for 35+ years. He is a rare throwback to a time when family docs had a heart for people. He is an earnest listener and keeps abreast of current developments in medicine. We dread the day he will retire as we know we will be hard pressed to receive the quality of care we have been blessed with this past 37 years.

I called the on-call doctor for an urgent medication issue. This doctor called back and was extremely annoyed to have been disturbed - like he expected being on-call would mean no interruptions to his evening. I was very much put off by his demeanor over the phone and certainly will now rethink ANY after-hours emergency in case this HOT HEAD is the one on call any given night. I would recommend any potential Piedmont Family Practice patient steer clear of this man. He seems to be intolerant and inconvenienced by patients of the practice calling after hours. His telephone manners leave me wary of his "bedside manner" towards patients. Maybe he should go into practice for himself and just tell all his patients to NEVER contact him in crisis - EVER. He should NOT be on rotation on-call. EVER.

Dr von Elten has been our family physician for over 15 years. My husband and I come back to Warrenton for medical issues as he is professional, patient, kind and caring. Dr von Elten sits on numerous medical boards and is up to date on practices, procedures and medicines.
