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 would recommend Dr. VanSweden!
Welcoming, excellent listening skills who seeks to understand and support his patients in the direction the patient wants to go and as he or she understands the risks involved with the prescribed meds and discusses alternative ways to improve his or her health other than meds, like, diet, exercise, supplements, weight loss…and is prepared in making changes towards a more healthy lifestyle…

Amazing doctor, lucky to have found him
Due to recent cardiovascular issues, I was in need of a local pcp who is also a cardiologist. I vet my doctors well and I must say, Dr Vansweden was everything I hoped for, and more. He spent longer than expected with me during my appointment, listening to my worries intently. He answered all my questions, showed deep knowledge and caring, and developed a plan for me which eased my mind during a very stressful time. I was left with many questions from my previous doctors. They seemed to be more robotic in their care, checking boxes off rather than providing healthcare. Dr Vansweden is the complete opposite. I would highly recommend Dr Vansweden if you are looking for a caring physician who will take the time to listen and develop a treatment plan tailored for you.

Great doctor who listens to you
I've been going to Dr. Vansweden for a year and couldn't be any happier. He got me off a bunch of pills, and I feel so much better. The office staff are great also. I strongly recommend him.

Knowledgeable but Overpresribes Medicine
Dr. Paul is knowledgeable of medicine. However, he over prescribes medication, not considering the risk nor explaining the risk. I visited him 3 times , and he prescribed me almost 10 drugs, most of which were highly unnecessary and I did not take. One of the drugs, Ciproflaxcin caused a severe reaction that knocked me off my feet for 3 months. A simpler antibiotic took care of the problem.
