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.

I’ve Never Been So Uncomfortable in My Life
I understand that an evaluation for bariatric surgery involves a physical examination, but Dr. Laan touched me way too much and without warning. He wiped his nose with his hand several times and didn’t once wash his hands. I’m not a germaphobe, but this encounter was just gross. He was too friendly (in a creepy way) and so informal in his explanations that I had to repeatedly ask him to be specific, and he wasn’t able to provide all the information I needed. Dr. Laan struck me as under-educated and poorly articulated—one who coasts on patronizing, insincere small talk and glosses over details (and hygiene). I couldn’t leave his office fast enough.

Best decision! HIGHLY recommend!
I HIGHLY recommend! Best decision I have made in a long time! Dr. Laan and his staff are truly a blessing! I had fought having bariatric surgery for years and decided that it was now time. Dr. Laan honestly wants the best for his patients! He listens to all my concerns (pre- and post-op). He is caring and compassionate always. He explains everything and answers all my questions (and I do have a LOT of questions!). No complications and no regrets. Wish I had done it sooner!

Dr. Laan is one of the best doctors for bariatric surgery. He is compassionate and caring. He listens and is informative in his details. You will not go wrong in choosing him to be your bariatric surgeon. HIs team is very nice and helpful with any questions. HIs nurse's and dietician are helpful and have taught me the skills I need in order to make my life easier and learn a new way of keeping up the work I have achieved under Doctor Laan's care.

Life Saving Surgery
My colon ruptured and was told I needed emergency surgery .Dr LAAN was the on call surgeon who literally saved my life. Can’t express the feeling to have such a caring and knowledgeable Dr. Dr Laan explained the procedures in detail and allowed me to ask questions And patiently answered them all. He told me he would be there every step of the way. It required me having an illeostmy bag for several months. I am delighted to tell you I just had my reversal procedure completed and I am healing well. I’m not one to write reviews usually but in this case I could not resist telling my experience with Dr LAAN. Honest,Trustworthy,Very patient,Understanding,and his priority is your healingAnd getting you back to living your life!

I am 87 years old & a patient of Dr. Danuel Laan. On May 3, 2022, Dr. Laan performed a robotic hiatal hernia repair on me. Prior to surgery, Dr. Laan took his time explaining my condition & available treatment options to me & my family. After surgery, Dr. Laan continued to monitor my condition & provide guidance & care to ensure my complete & speedy recovery. Dr. Laan’s knowledge, demeanor & genuine concern made a very stressful situation bearable for me & my family. I am very grateful to have had Dr. Laan as my doctor & highly recommend him! William M. Hardy, Sr.
