Dr. Van Houten listens and doesn't shame any concerns. She is the best. I only wish it was easier to schedule instead of needing to go weeks out.

My doctor was very professional and clear in her communication. I also felt that she listened to me and cared about my emotional and mental well-being in addition to my physical well-being. This is very important for me, especially as someone undergoing treatment for mental health conditions. Thank you.

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.
This was my first visit with Dr. Von Houten and she far exceeded my expectations. I am so thrilled to have her as my new provider.
