Mar 24, 2024
[...] He was rushed and not open to hearing any of my concerns. It was a waste of an appointment and I'm so disappointed because I waited a year for this annual physical and had things I wanted to address that I couldn't because he was excessively late and in a hurry.

We have 3 generations that go to Dr. Van Heukelum, I am so glad that he came to east ridge. He is kind and will forever be in our hearts. He's delivered my last child and has taken care of my parents, myself and my children. I am so grateful for doctors like him, he is genuine because he truly cares about his patients. He is a great mentor for the students. I am so glad to be his patient. Dr. Howe is also a great doctor, he has taken care of my dad and my family and I am so grateful. I know that if Dr. Van Heukelum is not in, I know that I am in good hands with any staff at east ridge. I truly thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Howe, Dr. Brad, Allison, front office staff, the nurses - like I say above, everyone was so wonderful when I came in. Even the front desk called me by first name asking how I was doing..........your whole team surely demonstrates the "family" in practice.
