5.0 star star star star starDr. VanDorpe was very thorough making sure he understood my medical history. I am grateful that he is also of the mindset of taking only necessary medication but rather resolving the root cause. He was kind and compassionate.

5.0 star star star star starKnowledgeable patient understanding and explanation however HE SHOULD TALK TO THE PATIENT AND NOT THE COMPUTER SCREEN WHILE HE IS TYPING JUST WAIT AND READ IT BACK TO THEM FOR ANY QUESTIONS. IT DOES HELP TO PROVIDE A PRINT OUT FOR REFERENCE AND FOLLOW UP. HE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST AND SO ARE HIS PEOPLE

5.0 star star star star starComprehensive coverage of health issues related to cardiology and overall general health. Dr. Vandorpe is an excellent communicator---able to explain complex procedures in ways that are understandable to the general listener/patient. Moreover he is very, very generous in spending time with the patient in the scheduled appointment. I always feel comfortable and at ease with his positive approach to discussions of a very serious nature and his clear discussions of options available. In conclusion, he is a most accomplished listener who allows the patient to express their inner most fears and anxieties.
