Review for Dr. Goldhaber
I am not sure how anyone could give Dr. Ackerman any score but five stars. She is a kind, brilliant, dedicated professional, as is the entire team at Commonwealth OBGYN.

Review for Dr. Ackerman
Dr. Lancaster is incredibly kind, competent. At no point I felt rushed when seeing him, had an ablation and he was great throughout the entire procedure, explaining what to expect and kept me in the know at all times. He is definitely a physician I would recommend and continue to be under his care...

Review for Dr. Lancaster
I was not diagnosed properly and have chronic problems as a result. He is interested in clear surgical problems not ambiguous ones. Didn't especially like him either.
