Dr. Van was highly recommended to me by a good friend, I have been let down so many times by people…read moreraving about their amazing Dr.'s to me, they may be good with medical knowledge, but most are missing the people connection or are not aligned with the more holistic approach to natural cures that I am trying to achieve. Well, I have found the BEST MD who meets my very specific and demanding requirements - Dr. Van, she is not only an amazing medical doctor, she is also a genuine and caring person who believes in treating the patient as a whole, not just a symptom, she believes in finding the root cause and treating the entire body to heal it as a whole. I am beyond impressed by her knowledge and service. I a now fully trust her with all my medical questions and concerns.
I went to Dr. Van with get a full blood panel to make sure I was healthy and also to lose weight. First of all, I am not a fan of Dr.s offices, they are always so cold and uninviting, but going to Dr. Van feels like going to the spa, the clinic is small and intimate, very modern and zen like. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by Ally who always has a smile on her face and wants to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible offering a variety of coffees and teas. During my first consultation, Dr. Van was very patient and informative, really took her time to get to know me, get to know my lifestyle and gave me a complete overview of the different blood panels I could get.
Things I love about the Practice:
Pricing - I absolutely love that they are very conscious about people's insurance and they do their best to ensure that they work with your insurance to get the best rates on medicines and tests. Also, they have great pricing for the things not covered by insurance or for those who don't have insurance, Dr. Van is a people Doctor, she is not your regular MD.
Bloodwork - I HATE IT, but Stu has magic fingers and tender touch, he takes his time and makes sure that you are super comfy while in a nice reclining chair in a room with a spa zen feel, I barely felt the prick and Stu was beyond gentle and professional.
Ease of Appointments - I call, make an appt. with Ally and I am set, I have never had an issue booking an appointment, and they have even accommodated some last minute visits.
Treatment - To my surprise, Dr. Van prescribed mostly natural vitamins and supplements to get me to my optimum health, I already lost weight and feel healthier than ever.
They also specialize in IV infusions and injections to drive metabolic change which allows the body to recover and heal itself, they create specific mixes depending on what you need, I haven't tried them yet but plan on it soon after seeing the amazing results on the other treatments I have followed.
Even if you have a great Dr., I highly recommend you go to Dr. Van and just get a full blood panel and have her explain the results to you, you will be blown away by the level of detail and correlations that she highlights, I have never seen an MD explain and understand the results to this level of understanding to where she paints a complete picture of how the results could uncover things you can improve on to make you healthier, even small changes with the right natural supplements specific to your blood can make a huge difference.
