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.

Painful and disrespectful
Please do not see this doctor. I have listed out only a few excerpts:Medical History:1. She cited'your menstrual cramps can't actually be that bad if you won't take hormonal birth control' without asking if I had family planning intentions. 2. She asked me how I even knew I had PCOS (I know from a doctor telling me) and then proceeded to tell me that I clearly didn't have it because I'm not overweight and don't have acne or facial hair... I was wearing a mask...Physical exam:1. I've never felt physical pain from a pelvic exam, and the level of pain endured was excruciating. While I cried on the exam table, Dr. Boter said, 'well that could just be cramps, you said you're a crampy girl and you're the one who decided to come to the doctor with your period, that wasn't my idea.'2. She continued to do a pelvic exam and told me that I needed to think hard about what I was telling her was painful.3. I was shamed for coming with my period and told none of my results would be accurate

I am delighted to have found a wonderful doctor such as Dr. Boter. As a nurse I am quite finicky with who I choose. She spent as much time as I needed and the exam was gentle. She educated me about every topic that was pertinent to my visit and my family history . She helped clarify my misconceptions in a humble and professional manner. She listened to my heart and lungs (which is a first for a gyn). I was extremely impressed that she was even able to hear my murmor (which has so often been over

Dr. Lana Boter is a great doctor with possibly the worst staff I have ever encountered. From the moment they pick up the phone the contempt they have for her patients is so clear. I have encountered issues with appointment times, wait times, office cleanliness, and misinformation. Despite this the doctor herself is quite amazing. I would give her 5 stars but the mismanagement of her office is so bad I can only give her 2.

My last visit Dr.Boter was deliberately unpleasant with me. I even wanted to ask her why she is mad with me....I was so glad to be out of her office this time. Because of this emotionally traumatic experience I will not recommend Dr.Boter to other patients. She should not work with people!

0 stars. She should not be practicing medicine. Long story short : she failed to find a large fibroid, tested me for HPV and then didnt tell me I had tested positive for it .. DISMISSED THE SYMPTOMS OF CERVICAL CANCER and prescribed a medication without giving a blood test to see base line levels of hormones- making any treatment by an endocrinologist impossible, and I left feeling judged, not listened to, disrespected and dismissed. I currently have cervical cancer FYI.
