I am so extremely happy that I started going to Dr. Van Hook for the treatment of my migraine headaches. My quality of life has completely changed for the better.

Dr. Van Hook and his staff are always so courteous and helpful. Dr. Van Hook has excellent “bed-side manner” in that he is empathetic and truly listens. He shares sincerely what he believes to be the best direction for my medical care. He offers suggestions in a way that still leaves me in control of my care. I feel validated as a human being when I leave his office. His nurse, Daytona, is so very pleasant and caring. I appreciate how they all work with me with my appointments, especially since I love out of state and travel some distance. It has been an enjoyable experience for me despite my medical history.

Our Response:

November 2021

My wife was misdiagnosed by local doctors after having tripped and fallen at work. Everyone treated her with a skeptical eye as a worker compensation fraud. Frankly, I wasn't sure that she would ever recover and be able to return to work. Thanks to Dr. Van Hook, he diagnosed her with a severe concussion and treated her with great care. While she still has some issues after 3 years, she is doing so much better and is able to return to the work that she truly enjoys.

Our Response:
Thank you for your kind words. Our staff's knowledge, compassion, and expertise are what make us a trusted healthcare provider. Have a great day!

January 2022

We love Dr Van Hook. After 3 Neurologist and so many different meds Dr Van Hook has gotten my son down from 2-5 seizures A WEEK to 1 A MONTH. Unfortunately it looks like surgery is gonna be the best bet we have for stopping the seizures completely. Dr Van Hook has explained everything to us down to every detail and we are so proud that we lucked up and found him

Very informative.

Our Response:
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a compliment! Glad to hear you had a great experience with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a great day!

Dr. Van Hook has given me back quality of life. I've suffered from migraines since childhood and since treatments from Colin, my migraines have decreased in frequency and severity. He's considerate, thorough, and always makes me feel comfortable. And his staff is amazing. Daytona is the bomb. I would recommend Dr. Van Hoom to anyone.

Our Response:
We appreciate the review. Compassion, expertise, and ensuring quality outcomes are core principles of our patient care philosophy. We'll make sure that your great feedback reaches our team. Thank you.

Dr. VanHook is very personable and thorough. He takes time to discuss patient care and explains medications. He also asks if there are other patient issues or questions.

Dr. Van Hook has changed my life with his treatment of my life long migraines. I was reluctant to go to a neurologist again because I felt I had tried everything. Dr. Van Hook listened patiently and was very professional. We decided on a treatment plan of Botox in my head, neck and shoulders. It works!!!! I also have gotten off of some Rx that I have taken for years!

July 2022
