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. Lohr recommended a stat order for a test. Three different hospitals were called before there was an opening. Since the test was performed, we are still waiting for the test results. This is not acceptable since this order was a stat. Stat means immediate action needs to be taken. Where is the urgency upon the members of her staff or herself to follow up and find out what is going on?

Dr. Lohr is a wonderful surgeon and human being. She has saved my life TWICE now. She has always been able to fit me in when I needed her the most and has thoroughly explained things along the way. Most doctors barely give you the time of day but she is the exception. She removed my gall bladder when in was gangrene and now she removed my colon as I was diagnosed with colon cancer. She has definitely been a God Send to me. God Bless you Dr. Lohr! July 28, 2017 Cindy from West Harrison, IN

She was very rude would cut me off while I was trying to ask questions, was not compassionate at all. Tried to tell me I was not in any pain when I had a 4 inch open incision on my breast. She is very cold and off putting. Definitely not a Dr I feel comfortable with.

This doctor saved my life .I had what could have killed me but Thank God Dr. Lohr was available to take care of me when she did. She was available for an emergency surgery right when I needed a good surgeon. She is a pure joy to speak to. Everyone needs to quit worrying about the petty things and be glad they have someone as good a doctor as her taking care of them. Remember if you have to wait a while it's because she's that good and in that high of a demand. She is worth the wait.!!!!!!!!!

She was rude, condescending, and dismissive. She blamed me for everything. The worst thing was that Dr. Lohr completely ignored my privacy and confidentiality and told numerous people things that they should not have been privy to.
