Dr. Vanhorn is great at listening to and addressing any of my concerns. This is my first pregnancy, and I am amazed at how patient she is with me. She goes the extra mile to assure me everything is going as expected. She has a great balance of high energy friendliness and seriousness about medical issues. I absolutely love her!

May 06, 2013

I wish I could see my doctor and build a relationship with her. It is hard to get to know someone in just one visit. I not feel like any doctor should have more patients than they are able to see. I want to be more than just a number. I value relationship.

April 28, 2013

I have enjoyed working with all the NP's and Dr. Vanhorn. They have kept me well informed. Have been very courteous and professional. I felt that they have showed good concern and listen when I talk with them about any concerns I may have. I felt that they addressed my questions very thoroughly. I like that they always take the time to sit and listen to me. It makes me feel more valued as a patient.

April 23, 2013

I appreciated Dr. Van Horn calling me, herself, to let me know the results of my test.

April 15, 2013

I have only met my OB once at my 1st appt. (after waiting 2 1/2 hours), since then, I have only been seen by a NP for 30 weeks of my pregnancy. I was not happy with the care I was receiving, so I switched to a new OB at 31 weeks. I am VERY happy now.

April 15, 2013

Dr. Vanhorn has such great enthusiasm why showing genuine concern. A nice combination. She is attentive and patient with my many questions. Love her!

April 03, 2013

These comments all apply to the care provided by Dr. Trauscht Van Horn who was excellent. I had far less confidence in the PA who saw me prior to the Dr. visit.

March 25, 2013

GOOD

March 20, 2013

Dr. Van Hornw was amazing. I feel like she really cares

March 15, 2013

Dr vanhorn is amazing! Best doctor i have ever had

March 15, 2013

NP Kathleen and Dr. VanHorn were very kind and attentive

March 13, 2013

Dr. Van Horn and Rita are both wonderful to work with.

February 18, 2013

good experience

February 18, 2013

I have never had the MD or the midwife talk to me about nutrition or appropriate weight gain during my pregnancy. Why isn't this part of the standard?

February 18, 2013

Kathleen Frame was great at listening to my problem and desire for treatment. I felt very safe in her care and appreciated her listening to me so well.

January 28, 2013

The doctor was excellent - very professional, intelligent, and caring. In addition, she takes the time to explain the procedures as she is performing them and to listen patiently to any of my concerns. Could not ask for a better Ob/Gyn - a credit to this hospital and its community of doctors.

January 28, 2013

I love my doctor and her staff. Everyone is always courteous and considerate.

January 21, 2013

I love Dr. Van Horn. She is extremely competent and pleasant and I always feel my questions answered and that I've been well taken care of in her care.

January 18, 2013

Dr. Van Horn is always nice, and always answers my question. However, I am 30 weeks pregnant, and have only had 2 appointments with her. The rest have been with either the midwife or a nurse practitioner. Since I am in my last trimester, I now always request to be seen by Dr. Van Horn. However, I feel that I should not have to ask to be seen by my doctor- I feel that I should be seen by my doctor at all of my appointments, unless she is sick or on vacation.

January 15, 2013

Dr Van Horn is awesome. She is very caring and informative.

January 14, 2013

I think the staff and providers in Clinic 4 should have an in-service about the Hypnobirthing class offered at the U hospital.

January 09, 2013

very friendly, shows concern and explains things well.

December 31, 2012

My friends need a gynecologist familiar with problems experienced by older women. I would recommend Jennifer to someone who is pregnant or of childbearing age. She did refer me to a neurologist. I'd like to know about the specialties of different gynecologists.

December 20, 2012

I was scared to death of the LEEP procedure. Dr. Vanhorn and the Nurse were able to sedate me and I am so grateful. I feel they went out of their way and showed genuine concern for my health. I cannot thank you enough for making this tolerable, you promised it would be and I can't thank you enough for your care and concern!

December 19, 2012

I would recommend the nurse I saw, but not my doctor that I was supposed to see.

December 10, 2012

Dr. Van horn was wonderful, and actually called me at home later to follow up on the appointment.

December 10, 2012

November 26, 2012

My only complaint is how busy she is. Excellent otherwise.

November 19, 2012

Nurse Practioner was super nice and helped me with all my questions that I was worried about. I would totally recommend Dr. Vanhorn and her nurse practioner to anyone. :)

November 19, 2012

The doctor was thorough and considerate. She gave good explanations and was open to questions. It was a positive experience.

November 05, 2012

I thought she was very nice. She answered all my questions and went over my medications and what to do with them with my medical history.

October 22, 2012

I really like my doctor though and liked the midwife I saw also.

October 15, 2012

Been with Dr. Van Horn for many years.......great lady and fantastic doctor

September 24, 2012

It has been ~9 months since I last saw Dr. Van Horn. She clearly reviewed my chart and my history before I met with her -- there were details about my history (both medical and personal) that she knew and asked about when we talked. Her attention to detail made me feel extremely well cared for. I have already recommended her to friends of mine, and I will continue to do so!

September 21, 2012

I would highly recommed Vanhorn to anyone! She is very thoughtful and helps me out on things i need answered and my concerns.

What is not to love about Dr. Vanhorn?? She is so positive and caring - I love her! I felt that all of my questions were answered, and she followed up on my labs. I feel fortunate to have her as my physician.

June 04, 2012

Dr. Van Horn is a very caring doctor.

May 09, 2012

I felt very comfortable and welcomed.

April 25, 2012

I have recommended Dr. Van-Horn to many friends.

April 19, 2012

The appointment only lasted 5 minutes so there wasn't that much discussed. Just a normal monthly check-up.

April 17, 2012

Dr van horn is wonderful. She spends time answering all of my questions and is open to giving me options about how my birth will go.

April 13, 2012

I am grateful to have such good care at this clinic. I feel like Dr. Vanhorn and Rita care about my health and are always willing to answer any questions or talk about any concerns that I have. They are both very kind and knowledgable.

February 14, 2012

I love Dr. Van Horn, she is a awesome provider and makes you feel like you are her only patient!!

February 13, 2012

My doctor always spends a great deal of time to talk about my issues.

February 09, 2012

Had a wonderful experience with physician.

February 09, 2012

I didn't get much time with the Doctor herself because the clinic was very busy. I understand this however, and was not angry or annoyed. I just dont know her well enough to say if I'm confident or not in her and if I would recommend her.

February 08, 2012

My past three visits were with NPs, they were all great, but I do want to see the doctor herself, so maybe space out the doctor's times with NPs so I feel I get seen by the doctor herself more often.

January 26, 2012

It would be nice if the providers use some diagram to explain things since everything was done by orally.

January 13, 2012

I have had very very good experiences with Dr. Van Horn, and have already recommended her to a number of my friends.

January 10, 2012

Dr. Vanhorn called me after my last visit and answered other questions by phone; I was very impressed that she would call me personally not just have a secretary call
