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.

Dr. Van Fossen Is very efficient. I am on new medications from another physician And Dr. Van Fossen Explained possible disease processes that can happen from these medications and testing that will need to be done. He is very pleasant but very professional. His Staff are also very professional and explains Anything that you do not understand.

I needed to have a Heart Cath done. He and his team were so efficient and the procedure was done at St. Ann's in Westerville. I cannot say enough about the doctor, the staff and the surgical team. They were all so nice and knowledgeable and Dr. VanFossen explained everything to me and then to my husband. We were both so impressed and so grateful.
