Dr. Walraven is easy to talk to and has been a great help with our healthcare issues. And she gives us expert advice for handling those issues

5.0

Dr Walraven listens and responds in a way easy for me to understand. She’s not judgmental about some options I try. I love the way she cares for my health

1.0

My original dr was out til after the new year so they scheduled me with this lady because I was having terrible headaches and was concerned about being lightheaded as I told her her response was I don't give pain medication for headaches. I asked her who asked for pain meds and she told i was going to ask because other people ask for pain meds for headaches. She needs to learn not to judge people as ""others"" and not tell patients what they are going to say or ask for before they say anything. Listen to patients and just don't diagnose patients with just anything without vhecking them out!

5.0

You are treated with courtesy and respect. Whatever you are facing or going through, the provider is concerned and passionate about your care.

5.0

I feel so very blessed to have found Dr. Walraven. She is empathetic, sympathetic and she takes the time to understand my own particular lifestyle and the issues that are so important to me. I never feel rushed by her patient workload. I have recommended her to several friends. I have been seen only by Dr. Walraven in the 7 years she has been my physician. There is no way to say enough good things about her. I love the convenience of all my lab work being done on the spot. It makes sure I get it done immediately.
