Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He does not follow thru leaves you in hospital 90 days on feeding tubes and hardly ever visits then after another dr jumps in and talks to him he does ax and discharges you with lung infection ????

As in any medical procedure, it's imperative to have faith in one's doctor's capabilities. Once I met with Dr. Lackey, I had full confidence that he'd do all that was possible to insure my husband's full and speedy recovery from his injuries. He is competent and matter-of-fact. He took the time to answer all my questions. My husband is recovering well because of this physician.

Dr. Lackey is real, if you are real with him. I felt safe and relieved on my first visit. Having to have a lode removed is pretty frightening. He was very kind to me and to my family after the surgery was over. I believe he is an excellent surgeon.

We really appreciated Dr. Lackey's passion for doing what is right for the patients. I always felt my best interest was driving all decisions. He took extra time to explain conditions/procedures/results for me who likes details but also made it simple enough for my spouse. My experience with him included a team of support people. A huge thanks goes out to the team. My case got turned back over to referring dr. post successful surgery, I will miss the trust I estabilished with this team.

The best! From the first appointment thru my lung surgery and recovery D. Lackey has always been very helpful to me and my family. He always seemed to really care about the best option for me as well as taking time to answer questions and concerns I had. I truly believe his expertise has saved my life. We would highly recommend him as a special doctor.

Bedside manner terrible. Arrogant. This guy does not care if you are not his patient. He was the attending physician for my dads surgeon. Likes to criticize other surgeons work, made my dad and I doubt his surgeon. His criticizing of other surgeon was uncalled for, treats the resident doctors bad. Instead of insuring my dad and I it can be fixed, we got nothing left the er with the same problem.

My experience with Dr. Lackey was excellent. I was well prepared for my surgery with a clear understanding of the procedure and necessity for it. His communication with my family and myself was clear, direct, and based in fact. He gave us information that was actually known and confirmed by lab results, never suppositions or guesses. Once results were available, I was given straight forward information and plenty of time to ask questions. I learn what I needed to know to deal with my condition.

Overall experience was very poor, I wish I never selected him for my surgery. His bed side manner and temperament is horrible. Most importantly, I believe he botched my surgery because I have had nothing but complications since he did it. He left my family panicking in the waiting room while I was in recovery for 7 hours. If you are considering him, take it from me and pass... Unfortunately the overall experience with Lackey was a disaster; needless to say I am not finished with Dr. Lackey.
