I've been seeing Dr Vanker at least twice a year since 2008 and l live 2 hours away. I carpool with friends. Why the distance? Because it's hard to find a Dr who takes the time to explain your condition, the whys and the becauses, and drawings if need be for extra explanation. She does offer alternative and integrative medicine for her patients focussing on finding out initially what causes their problem and try to remedy it if possible and by treating the symptoms. She's very thorough, helpful, and offer many services that other Drs don't. She's very friendly which is a big bonus. Dr Vanker had a practice in Sydney in the past and many of her patients continue to travel the distance to see her. That says a lot! read more
