Vandercar originally seemed like a fine doctor,until I began seeing nothing but out of state youngsters,and heard them in the pharmacy later,talking about how easy it was to get drugs from the man.He also does not accept insurance,which is all you really need to know

That's balony. Dr. VanDercar is an amazing physician and would never do such a thing!! I have PIP too - he charges me the $20 he is supposed to based on my PIP program, and then gets the rest from my PIP. I only had $2,000 on my PIP when I came to him, because the rest had been used by my first doctor, who I only saw like 4 times!!! I've been going to Dr. V for over a year now, and yet I used like four times of that amount on my first doc in two or three months?!?!

I began seeing Dr. Vandercar 2 years ago and I was disabled and having very bad problems.This wonderful doctor not only worked up a pain management plan that was cautious,but highly hands on with a developed treatment plan.Because of my finances at the time he agreed to see me practicly pro bono.He has also recommended mr to 2 other fantastic doctors who hacve helped me tp the point where I may one day work again,while saving the government 10's of thousands of dollars bt keeping me out of the ER for the most part by helping control a very ,very bad case of chronic pancreatitis.Other Doctor's are critical because they lose their usuless,to me,pain nerve blockage which never worked but I was forced to endure at a cost of thousands.Vandercar is a rare doctor who puts his patients well being above the bottom line.

Dr. Vandercar would never intentionally overbill you. He doesnt need the money, he's in this practice to help people. He is a godsend to many including me. He's given life back to many, Thanks Doctor V Jeff McCasland

by Joe Bob on Nov 13th, 2008

We found out after of months of paying cash and credit card, Dr VanDercar's office was also submitting claims on our p.i.p. ins from the oringial car wreck which in time exhausted our p.i.p. claim money we had other plans and procedures for my wife who was run over by a van.....I don't know , but it smells like a scam..now I have an attorney working on it to recover over2,000.00 dollors which was wrongfully submitted by his office....Plus his girls up front could care less about anyone...I strongly recomend another pain mgmt Dr. rather than Dr V. he just dosent care about his patients i had about 5 mins face time with him each time, than he would write my RX's and say"SeeYA Next Month." for 9 months straight...I'd rather have a Dr. that cares about his patients rather than money. I DO NOT RECOMEND DR.VANDERCAR there are many "pain mgmt Dr.'s out there that CARE"
