I waited 45 minutes after entering the room waiting for doctor to enter. The long wait is my only disappointment. I enjoyed my actual time with the doctor.

Dr Van der Zee is the most caring and compassionate Dr I've ever had. She creates a safe space where I feel like we are equal, not like some other providers I've had who can be authoritative. She really listens to me, makes me feel seen and heard. Those qualities are special in a physician. If only she could be my PCP!

Dr. Van der Zee is an exceptional doctor. As a matter of fact, I would say that she's one of the two best doctors I've ever had - and I'm 78 years old so I've seen my share of doctors. She's intelligent, thoughtful, listens, analyzes with care, is empathetic and really knows her stuff. I cannot praise her enough.
