“I've made an appointment [1st one] for my 16 yr. old daughter to see Dr. Sherry Van Blyderveen. Received reminder call a day prior & confirmed my daughter's presence. Showed up on time with my daughter. Heard voices from one of the rooms. After 15 min waiting a woman peeked into the waiting room and quickly retreated to her room. Literally no word, no eye contact, nothing. All other rooms were locked and there was no secretary present. That's it. Super unprofessional for not calling us to cancel/postpone the appointment due to whatever might have happened. No call back after either. Absolutely unacceptable [non]service. Van Blyderveen if you ever read this: shame on you. If I could give you no stars - as in zero - I would.
01May 2018 UPDATE: last week we have received "Balance owing" letter from New Leaf. It left us speechless. For a December 2016 appointment that Van Blyderveen did not show up for!? Think about it for a moment.....
This is wrong on so many levels.
Letter outlines payment options and threatens with collection if account is not settled.
Also, yesterday we have received a phone call from front desk assistant.
Yep; telling us about the past due payment.
She was courteous and very polite and after explaining that Van Blyderveen did not show up for the appointment she apologized and promised to take care of the issue. Thank you.
Still - Unbelievable. Negative 5 stars.”Read moreShow less

“I was very dissatisfied with the sessions with Sherry, so much so I had to write this review to get it off my palate. Many times it felt like we were not even in the same session. Major topics and concerns that were brought up we would talk about for mere minutes and then they became forgotten not to be brought up again. She was a very poor listener in this regard. She seemed to have a cookie cutter approach and in my opinion may be out of touch with male perspective. I believe she starts her sessions with presumptions before collecting information. When she got to talking you could not get a word in edgewise to clarify. At least 2 sessions were filled with slightly off topic banter but enough to fill the hour for a paid session. I could write many more points of dissatisfaction; summarily for us I believe we could have accomplished much more with a different Dr.”Read moreShow less

“Exceptional service and professionalism. All the staff are great and Dr Sherry is incredible, the level of professionalism, knowledge and experience exceeded my expectations. The sessions are always beneficial and i have seen several other therapists in the past but have to say Dr. Sherry is the best. I also have a friend that sees another therapist at this location and is very very happy. Well done.”Read moreShow less
