What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I had to have an emergency appendectomy. As soon as I was diagnosed, Dr Van Dorp and his PA saw me right away, explained the risks and benefits of the procedure and got me right into surgery. The post-op care from the PAs was amazing as well as my outpatient follow-up appointment. They listen to my concerns and answered all my questions, although most questions were answered before I even had to ask.
