Very pleased with care shown by doctors and nurses and staff. I think the university should do a nice feature article on Dr. Vander Schilden. He has such a long and distinctive record of service it would be nice to see him honored as a thank you and perhaps a reception of sorts.

Yes, Dr. Vander Schilden was great. He explained everything very well. He listened to everything and I was pleased with all my care there. From Teresa, his nurse, to the person in radiology, everything. They were perfect. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
