Sep 08, 2020
A true professional in every way. Dr. Van Gelder performed a quadruple bypass on me at Bayfront Hospital. I had zero complications and am back to vigorous good health because of him. In addition, to his surgical skills, he gave us every bit of information my family and I needed to be at as much ease as possible both before and after the procedure. I highly recommend him and his team.
