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.

Tried to reschedule an appointment due to unforeseen circumstances,, the woman that finally answered the phone was so impatient, I never even had enough time to speak my name before being put on a Short hold that only lasted 4 minutes and 48 seconds, then disconnected the call. When I called back she terminated the call after saying can I help you in one syllable, very impatient and rude. Even tried a third time but no response after about six rings. Absolutely will not bother that super busy, rude woman again!

I’ve been seeing Dr Vanderby for over 20 years. He listens and pays attention to your problems and then is excellent at diagnosis. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!

We are no longer going to Vanderby. He isn't friendly, no smiles. I was just another co-pay. Asks minimum questions, and we both felt like a bother. As a nurse for 15 years taking care of trauma, critical care, and cardiac patients, he has proven to not keep his word of professional courtesy. (COME ON I've earned it!) I don't need an MD to look at my husband to say, "yep, you have back pain". His door is always open and easy to get an appt. and I can see why.

I've been a patient of Dr Vanderby for 11 years. In the beginning it was great the office staff was really friendly and Dr. Vanderby would sit and actually talk to you. My last few visits have not been that pleasant the office staff is very rude and Dr. Vanderby does not seem to care any longer. Time to look for a new doctor.

This doctor has only been requiring my father to come in once a year for a checkup. My father has Chronic High Blood Pressure. You do the math. I researched his previous lab results over the past 5 years- he has NEVER increased his BP med! He NEVER told my mother he had early stage of Kidney Disease! My father had a hemorrhagic stroke last month which has left him dealing with Severe Global Aphasia. He can't read. He can't write. He can't remember who I am. 1 star is too much.

My stupid insurance has left me with little options but this is too little. He's terrible and no bedside manner and always rushed. I am leaving this place immediately. Just pick someone else... ANYONE else!

My husband and I both saw Dr. Vanderby for about 6 months and, after some debate, decided to find another physician. He didn't seem to care about us or our treatment and was consistently brusque. No real complaints about our care, which is why he gets two stars. But care is also about the therapeutic relationship between the healer and the patient. He must've missed those classes in medical school.

Love the doctor, seems like office staff is too busy to follow up, perhaps understaffed. Staff member told me to they didn't have time to help with a call for a prescription refill. Made me feel like I was asking too much when I asked for assistance.
