Guys. I named my daughter after her. This is how amazing I think this woman is. I feel so lucky to have had her as my Dr for the past 20 years. I'll be heartbroken when she retires.

Dr. Van Der Linden has been our Dr. for many years, and we appreciate her knowledge, professionalism, proactive management of our broad health care needs, and she delivered our youngest who is now 20+ years old. I wish everyone in the capital region and BC could be so fortunate to have a health care professional such as ours manage their ongoing medical needs.

This doctor had gone above and beyond the expected call of duty for me and my family. She has delivered four babies for me and has been there for every need through the years. She is the best doctor and medical professional I knew and I would highly recommend her.

Ann has been my doctor for many years. Some visits I leave feeling really heard and some not so much...but here is the thing I have learned in my life with all doctors or any kind of health care providers. I need to look at my own part in the visit. How prepared was I, how well did I communicate my needs and how honest was I. When I do that, I always realize that my actions play just as important a role as my doctor's. If one is feeling too vulnerable to be their own advocate, which is understandable, see if you can bring someone you trust to help you. Doctors are human beings, not oracles and as human beings, they have stress in their lives as well. So Ann, I give you 5 stars, for being the best doctor you can be which is all any of us can really ask

always late, you have to go back repeatedly for her to take you seriously. Have been in her office in tears because I was in so much pain and since it was not the obvious she sent me on my way. Had to come back 6 or 7 times for her to finally refer me to proper specialists. Doesn't take younger adults back or joint pain seriously and thinks your being dramatic, wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Have talked to other people who have seen her and she gives incredibly outdated information. Doesn't like giving anti depressants to younger individuals who need it, even asking why I "sprung it on her" after seeing her about it for the 6th time, before which she always had an excuse. 10/10 don't recommend

I feel lucky to have found Dr. V as my maternity doctor 12 years ago. She has been my children’s doctor since and it gives our family comfort that she has known our children their entire lives from the first time we heard their heartbeats. Nice being able to trust someone with everything that comes up in life for the children and myself. Very consistent and knowledgeable.

Simply put, Ann is fantastic. Listens well, knowledgeable, funny, kind, great with kids, lovely as a maternity doctor, the full package. A tad frustrating trying to get through to the office...I do not often have the time to call over and over again, however, once you get through the staff are very helpful!

For the first 5 yrs I waited for Ann to be behind in her appointments. It never happened.
For the next 5 years I learned to appreciate her ability to address questions not yet asked.
5 more and I relaxed enough to address my most important issue.
In 25 years....perhaps 3 cancellations for stork arrivals...Cheers.

I've been seeing Dr.Van Der Linden for many years as my family doctor but recently got pregnant and love that she is also able to be my maternity doctor. She is kind but still honest and ensures that I know all I need to know, I never feel rushed or that she is distracted and she is very helpful in helping me make the best birth plan for me and my baby.
My only complaint is that the office is hard to get ahold of sometimes as when the phone doesn't get answered you can't leave a message so you have to keep calling and calling not knowing when you'll get through.
