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.

Dr. Lazio is an amazing doctor and I always received great care at the neurology clinic. It is a shame that you are closing it.

I was experiencing a spinal headache. From the front desk staff, MA, Nurses, and Dr. Lazio were all extremely accommodating and understanding to my limitations. I needed to lay flat so they made sure I was comfortable in the room in that position and was examined as much as possible in the prone position and only elevated when needed for Neuro exam. For the first time, I felt seen as a person and listened to for my needs. Dr. Lazio & her team getting me in for a blood patch that day honestly saved my life. I was in pure agony.

I was just notified that the practice is closing so pretty sad about that. I don't need follow-up care, but it was nice to meet Dr. Lazio and feel well cared for with her. Now she's gone.

I am very disappointed that this practice is being closed by Providence. Dr. Lazio and her associates have given me excellent healthcare through several surgeries, and one that is upcoming.

Our wait was over 1.5 hours after we checked in. Dr. Lazio seemed annoyed we had been referred to her and we were wasting her valuable time. Travel time alone to see her was 6 hours. Had requested a virtual appointment, but told no.
