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 Scoy
Dr. Can Scoy cared for my son as if he was his own. He always took my concerns serious and made me feel confident my son was in the best hands. I feel so lucky that this was where my son ended up after being born 10 weeks early.

Dr. Van Scoy is an amazing and caring doctor. He took care of my son when he was in the NICU for 2 weeks 1 month ago. He always gave the most recent updates to us when we would go see our son in the NICU. Always made sure we understood and knew how our baby’s health was. Made sure we were heard when we had concerns on our baby. He is the best !

This guy and his staff are heroes. They took care of my daughter when she was 3 hours old and for the next 8 days and showed a level of care and professionalism that I will forever be grateful for. He took the time to explain the situation with frequent updates that showed a level of dedication that meant a lot while my world was on hold. Thank you.

My daughter Sammy was born 16 years ago and spent the first three months of her life in the NICU at Sierra Vista. Dr. Van Scoy and his staff are amazing! Sammy was in excellent hands and could not have received better care. Thank you!

Dr Can Scoy was the Dr on call when our son was suddenly admitted to the NICU. He was extremely comforting and informative of the condition, and got us connected with the proper specialists. Later when our son was admitted to the ER, van scoy came down from the NICU to give the er doctors a background and recommendation on how to treat.
