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.

Arrogant and Dismissive
I was told by his staff that he could help me. I drove over 3 hours for my appointment. He glanced in my nose ears and throat and proclaimed that he couldn't help me. No scans, no diagnostics, just rude and dismissive.

Dr Van Buren is amazing. He is my go to ENT. He takes out tonsils, is very nice, and has time to answer your questions. I would recommend him to anyone. I love his style of work, and he is very easy to talk to. I also love is MA!

Dr. Van Buren is a very nice/genuine man. He has excellent bedside manners. He always takes the time to listen to my questions/concerns and is able to explain his 'diagnosis' in layman terms. I have had 5+ appointments in the past 2 months and each visit he has been on time (he's in the room w/in ~5 min of his nurse checking me in), he's answered all my questions, and I have never felt rushed at any appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Van Buren. His nurse Carol is wonderful too!

Seen him twice in ER on same day for a freak nose bleed that just wouldn't stop. He ended up doing a cauterizing of nose. Needless to say, this doc is a miracle worker. I no longer have headaches!! He's now my main ENT now!
