Dr. Vanlaanen is an awesome doctor. I am very glad she is my doctor. She's intelligent, caring, and beams with empathy which I would assume makes her patients feel better, like I do.

Dr VanLaanen is the best doc in the place!! I could not imagine health without her!! She helped me immensely when my husband was struggling with brain cancer and radiation necrosis when no one understood his complex medical symptoms!! No doctor in the world that I trust as much as her especially when he had a recurrence with brain cancer that was glioblastoma!! My favorite doc in my lifetime!!
