Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2018
Dr. Van Meter went above the call of duty. We were at an away tennis match for my daughters tennis team and she fell on the court and hurt her ankle to the point of where she could not get up. Dr. Van Meter's wife called him and took my daughter in immediately and did an X-ray. If we didn't live over an hour away I would switch my whole family to him. Compassion and competence is hard to find these days!
