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.

This Doctor is the absolute worse. I went to this doctor with my list of concerns and he totally wrote me off as if I was not having legitimate medical emergency.

Dr. Lax had a really good bedside manner and makes you immediately feel comfortable. He explains things as he does them and answers any questions you might have. Choosing an OB is a very personal decision but I would highly recommend Dr. Lax!

This was my first visit and I have to say it was so pleasant and easy. Everyone was friendly and informative and took my care very seriously. Dr. Lax listened to what I needed and made great recommendations as far as birth control for me and also provided why he suggests certain ones as well as where his information comes from. I am very pleased with the level of care I received.

I feel he is very caring and makes sure you understand what he is explaining in detail. He’s going to do my surgery but then he is leaving the practice. I’ll have to find someone similar again due to insurance restrictions.

I came in for an ER follow up. From the moment I called the receptionist was fantastic! Dr Lax was amazing, took care of me wonderfully and the ultrasound tech was awesome! Couldn’t ask for a better staff.
