Dr. Donald Duane Vanfossan, MD

Doctor: Your medication insurance bad, I'll have Kitty help you find better, 2 years still waiting. Your MRI is to OLD you need a new one, 1 year ago. I told him I need medication I can afford, so he writes me a prescription for medication, that slow the number of attacks for $40,000 a month, and you need to file for a grant, including your wife and any of age children! To Pay the co-pay? Would not recommend.

Walked in 8 months ago he said I needed to speak to his assistant Kitty. No calls, no appointment, no proscription, no medication for my MS, now I'm in a wheelchair.

I will never enter Van Fossan's office again. I was diagnosed by him 5+ years ago with Parkinson's. I'll hive him credit for making a correct diagnosis, but that's it. He never explained the disease to me and what I was headed for. I got more information off the internet. He gave me medication with no instructions on how to take them. I was taking taking them with meals so I'd remember to. Come to find out, you can't eat protein with the Parkinson's medication. The protein will not let the body absorb the medication, leaving them to not work. Might as well just though the meds away. I always felt that I was in his way and he didn't have time for me. I always felt the appointments were rushed and I'd leave, not getting any answers or support. When I did get some answers they were either "I don't know", "I never heard of that" or "You're just under medicated", without any discussion. I found a doctor that specializes in Parkinson's and so happy I did. The doctor and his… team have been so helpful and things are so much better. He spends time with me and my husband to discuss how I'm doing, AND LISTENS. Van Fossan should not be treating people with Parkinsons's. I know a lot of people with or without Parkinson's that have gone to Van Fossan and feel the same way. I'm surprised he's still in business.

He over medicated my Mother, after going back again and showing him the digression of my Mother, he lowered the dose, but even that was way to much, after calling and saying she was falling and was almost zombie like, they never even called back, I wouldn't send my worst enemy there. Jmo

This doctor very evidently sees his patients as being beneath him: Has a 'superior' attitude. Not willing to communicate, rather is short & brusque.

Dr.Van took my daughter in on emergency. He was great we got the answer to her health condition she has crps. They helped us get her into Standford Amazing doctor and staff.
