Much wiser choice than the ER. Was able to get an appointment quickly and was seen and treated professionally and kindly by ALL staff.
I would to suggest discussing more about the recovery time and pain, as well as making sure you leave with the proper pain prescriptions that are/could be needed.
Staff, Doctor, all excellent
Good people, friendly and professional
Dr. Van Eps, Margaret and his entire office is top notch!
I did like Dr. Van Eps. I thought his bedside manner was very, very good. I did not, however, like having to sit down with the senior resident without being asked if I was okay with it first. I wasn't asked if I was okay with him being in my exam either. That part I did not like.
Very respectful
The doctor is professional, patient, he dedicates time to you and listens to your problem, he gives you confidence, I felt very good, I would definitely recommend him, he is excellent.
Dr. Van Eps provided comforting and kind care. Excellent doctor.
No, everything is okay.
1st time there. The doctor took his time and explained every step and process. Felt comfortable and at ease.
From the day that I came to this office, they have been polite, kind, and very generous, and also gave me information on how to take care of what's going on with me. I just give him great honor because he cares. His office staff is good as well. That's all I can say. I would recommend him.
Dr. Van Eps is a great doctor. Surgery went well and recovery was awesome not much pain and in all the appointments he was very informative before and after surgery. I will definitely recommend him.
Everyone was courteous, professional, and informative. From the front door to the exit. The appointment was well coordinated and organized. I appreciate the kindness and guidance provided by everyone and attention to my medical care. Top Notch
Dr. Van Eps is a wonderful doctor. He really cares about his patients. I drive over an hour to be able to continue having him as my doctor.
Excellent service with the doctor and all the staff
I appreciated the full detailed discussion of past experiences and possible path forward. The recommended referral was very much appreciated and cemented trust w/Dr Eps.
My only regret is about files and previous treatments to be passed on especially if I'm seeing more than one specialist.
And everything is fine, it is the first time I visit it and everything is fine with all the staff who speak in English and Spanish, the translation is all good.
Very professional, talked through the process of the appointment and through with the exam.
I was there to meet Dr Jeffery Van Eps who will be taking care of me from now on. He is wonderful! Dr Van Eps took so much time with me and answered all of my questions and addressed all of my worries. He was so caring and I left our first meeting feeling like a heavy load had been taken off of my shoulders. I feel so lucky to have found him and now know that everything with my health from this point on will be ok!
He is a very good surgeon
Dr. Van Eps and staff are very kind. Thank you for your service.
Everyone that I dealt with was very friendly and professional.
An excellent doctor, very attentive and always explaining concerns or worries. I recommend him. I give him a 20 out of 10.
I requested the appointment for an anal pap. When I got into the office and after waiting 40 minutes past my scheduled time, I was told the office was out of the materials to do the pap and I had to wait an entire week later to get it done. I spent over 2 hours on this appointment including drive time and the necessary supplies were not at the office. This is not acceptable. The doctor was amazing, but if an appointment is requested, the supplies should be prepared.
Looking forward to being under the care of this doctor who seem genuinely caring about my health
Prescribed treatment has been very helpful.
Excellent experience and took excellent care of me !
Dr. Van Eps is very knowledgeable and caring.
