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.

Someone I trust implicitly.
I have been a patient of Doctor Lampert for ten years--met with him today. He has steadfastly been caring, kind and understanding. He is always direct in explaining his reasoning for the steps he was taking with me as his patient and is always generous with his time during our visits. As someone who had to live through a terrible situation I feel that no one else could have been better as my Doctor. He is a wonderful man and an exceptional Doctor in my opinion. I feel fortunate to have him as my physician.

Dr. Lampert is truly a gift from God! Throughout my diagnosis and treatments of breast cancer, Dr. Lampert has calmly and patiently explained what I could expect both at the time and down the line. I have never felt rushed during my appointments with the doctor. He is just amazing and I could not imagine having any other Oncologist! The staff is also fantastic!

I am crazy about Dr Lampert. Never have I had a doctor that makes me so at ease. His explanations are great and I finally understand my illness. He uses every day examples to explain things and he always makes me laugh. That is something that is really important for a cancer patient and even on days when chemo gets me down he brings a smile to my face.

Cheerful, compassionate, knowledgeable. He did a great job of treating my mom's breast cancer. He was always very patient and answered all my questions all the time. His advice was always honest and best for the patient. He came around to look up my mom at the hospital every time she got admitted for non-cancer related issues too.

Dr,. Lampert is the best doctor I have ever met. When my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 4 we lost hope that she could survive. In other hospital they didn't give us any hope. But dr. Lampert with his positivity , good energy and with all the good care and kindness of all the staff on the Regional Cancer Care Associates my mother is still standing and fighting every day. Thank you Dr. Lampert

Dr. Craig Lampert and staff are great oncologists. I'd probably be dead if it wasn't for this great group of doctors. They treated my cancer aggressively with the best and most modern medicine to date. They also have a great bedside manner, which from my experience is not something always found at the bigger cancer centers in NYC and Philadelphia. If God forbid you find yourself in need of an oncologist or hematologist, come see the doctors at RCCA.

I am very grateful that I found Dr. Lampert to be my oncologist. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He takes time to explain your diagnosis and treatment plan. At each visit, he connects with you in a supportive and calming manner. He and the office staff are available and encourage you to call if you have questions between visits. Even after completing all treatment, he takes time at each follow-up wellness visit to provide support and knowledge.

I first met Dr. Lampert about 4 years ago when he was treating a family member. I remember thinking to myself that if I ever needed an oncologist I would want him to be my doctor. Unfortunately, I needed an oncologist this past year and I knew right away who I wanted as my doctor. Dr. Lampert takes time to address you and all of your concerns, no matter how silly they may seem. He makes you feel like a person and not just another patient.

Dr Lampert is an expert in his field and besides that he is also a very caring doctor! He is the very first doctor I have seen who takes the time out to explain my treatment and even shows me on the computer what he is talking about! I am very grateful for Dr. Lampert and I wished there were more caring doctors like him! It is so wonderful to have a doctor that you can trust completely. Thank you RCC and thank you Dr. Lampert :-)

I was referred the pratice but was referred to one of the other doctors but when he was not available they said I could see Dr Lampert because he had a cancellation. I dont know how the other doctor would have been but I am so thankful I got Dr Lampert because he is excellent. He took his time to explain my illness and used simple words and every day examples. His tone is also very reassuring and he did not have any of the arrogance you see in some doctors.

Dr. Lampert is the BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER SEEN. And I have seen way too many in my 35 years. I consulted with Dr. Lampert after I ended up with blood clots in my leg post knee surgery. He was/is never rushed when seeing me. He is thorough, explains everything in words a non-doctor can understand. Is extremely patient and answere all questions I had.

We consulted with Dr. Lampert after my father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and carcinoma tosis. Dr. Lampert met with us for a long time - far longer than I would have expected given his busy schedule. He patiently, clearly and compassionately explained the options including the risks and benefits of treatment. He was exceedingly kind, clear, honest and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. We felt well cared for. I highly recommend him without reservation.

I had read previous excellent reviews Dr Lampert and so we decided to use him. We were so lucky to have got him. He is professional and yet so easy to talk to and he explained to us at our level. He used examples we could all understand and my daughter who is usually so critical of doctors said: "Wow he is a keeper". The office has recently undergone a merger but he has promised us he is not going anywhere. He sat face to face with us and reassured us that we could fight this

We met Dr Lampert for a scary diagnosis. We had originally met one of the "experts in NYC but wanted to see Dr Lampert as a second opinion. He treated me with sensitivity and empathy. He sat infront of me and focused on me and me alone. He did not sit like most doctors with a computer but rather spoke to me as a person. Using regular english he explained my disease and options. This was a second opinion and despite being spot on with the “academics in NYC” he left them in the dust with his compa
