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.

Seen Dr. Lauttman a few times and he's wonderful. Great bedside manners, social, knowledgeable/informative. I would give him 5-stars. The downside, his schedule is not accessible if you need to get in sooner rather than later. He's usually scheduled for months out. Additionally, I find the clinic staff is difficult to work with. It takes multiple calls just to make an appt and overall environment of their attitude (both clinical and appt schedulers) are not very friendly or welcoming; hence the 3-star rating.

Dr Lautman is an absolutely wonderful doctor. He is kind, compassionate, and so very knowable. He takes his time and explains everything so I can understand. There may be a bit longer wait, but it is worth the wait, He spent so much time with me. I cannot say enough good about him I highly recommend Dr Latuman

Loyal patient of 16 years here. If it were possible to give this practice NO STARS, we would! A month after diagnostic imaging, have called MULTIPLE times, left MANY messages, put on hold for almost an hour, daily promises to have someone call back, and STILL NOTHING! Poor customer service, no follow-through, and non-existent accountability. Performed a surgical procedure on my husband, for "symptoms" he didn't have. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE & VERY UNPROFESSIONAL DR. LAUTMAN!

Dr. Lautman was recommended to me for sinus problems. I have had the problem for many years and have seen many different doctors. Dr. Lautman addressed all of my concerns and options. I chose to have surgery for this problem and am happy to say, it was a great success.. I feel better than I have felt in years. Dr. Lautman is a kind and compassionate physician. I highly recommend him.
