Always a joy to see Dawn and Dr Van Houten. They are so professional and provide compassionate and excellent care. Dr Van Houten is always so considerate of me and of my medical history and is very thorough. Also, I loved the convenience of having my labs drawn at my office visit! Tavia is the best!

Dr. Van Houten is thoughtful, compassionate and a huge advocate for her patients. I had trouble w/insurance and although they refused to cover a certain procedure, Dr. Van Houten & her staff tried every avenue available. I'm very grateful to be in her care.

I love Van Houten's calm & respectful communication style. I wish she was the one to delivery me but I got an on-call OBGYN who was equally great.

Dr. Van Houten is the best OB that I've ever seen. I had a rough pregnancy, she took good care of me and was with me every step of the way. She is not only good at what she does but also very caring and personal. She spends necessary time with patient. Her MA, was excellent too in every aspect.

This was my first visit to this OB-Gyn, after previous ones left the practice. She was terrific, we definitely connected No issues with practice itself. Your parking system, however, leaves a LOT to be desired. Conflicting info, didn't realize practice would need to give me a validation to get out, then when I was leaving, it said to just go through.

Dr. Van Houten gives me the time I need to talk with her & explains information thoroughly. She never seems to be rushed as other providers seem to be nowadays.

I have gone to this office for around 4 years; the office staff has always been kind, courteous, respectful, helpful. This doesn't always happen and I greatly appreciate these workers. My previous doctor went to another practice, but she and her nurse were so compassionate, kind, listened, reached into me as a whole person; not just the gynecological part. This doctor and nurse have been caring, kind, listened, tended to the exam as needed, gently. Thankful for the way the office, doctors, nurses take personal interest and care with the patients.

Overall good experience, however based on my labs and symptoms. I thought I would need IV fluids. Ended up going to an urgent care a few days later to get IV fluids instead.

Dr. Van Houten was very thoughtful and personable. I don't often have providers who ask me about life outside of being their patient, and she made me feel cared for by listening.
