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.

She is amazing, pleasant and professional
Dr. Lockhart has great bedside manners.

Fantastic and an Amazing OBGYN
Dr. Lockhart is a blessing and an amazing OBGYN. She's been my doctor for many, many years. I'm 70 now and she's also my daughter's OBGYN. She delivered my daughter's first child 20 years ago. My granddaughter is now a patient of Dr. Lockhart. Dr. Lockhart is there for me physically and emotionally. If I have guestions she answers with passion and concern. She explains every detail of the procedure that she would be preforming. I'm comfortable with her exams. I am so glad that she is my family's OBGYN. Thank you Sincerely

Life Saver
Dr Lockhart was a guest of honor at my 50 birthday party because she literally saved my life - on numerous occasions. Dr Lockhart successfully managed my four high risk pregnancies and I still travel the 50 miles each way to see her for my annual because she is simply the best. Dr Lockhart was able to successfully navigate all the challenges in my first pregnancy ( large fibroids/ blood clotting disorder) to save my life and she developed a year long plan to preserve my fertility that included a myomectomy removing 14 large fibroids. (When I resumed fertility treatments, my fertility doctor asked for Dr. Lockharts contact info to give to other patients because the reconstructive work Dr. Lockhart did on my uterus was ‘beautiful’.) In every pregnancy, Dr. Lockhart called for all of the resources to make sure my babies and I would be safe by calling in a MFM and a Hematologist and making herself available to us. I have refered her to countless friends and family members.

The experience that I've had with this office is worst ever. I Had tests done that came back abnormal. The receptionist told me to ignore the results even though I have symptoms. The office doesn't answer the phone EVER. Be prepared to leave numerous messages just to get voicemails from the receptionist. Dr Lockhart is unassailable and you will never hear from her after seeing her in the office.

Highly Disappointed in Long Island, NY – Dec 21, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lockhart?
Dr. Lockhart is absolutely amazing! She delivered both my daughters via C-section and was so great!! I request her every time I go into that office. She always asks about my girls when I am there which shows she really cares. I had some issues last year which required me to have a laproscopy procedure. I was such a mess but she helped me through this and was extremely helpful. She is a remarkable woman!

Dr. Lockhart is very patient and courteous. She is extremely knowledgeable and I have complete confidence in her abilities as a gynecologist and surgeon. The office staff is usually pleasant in person but the office is not always easy to reach and not good about returning phone calls. The wait time is usually long. I assume this is due to overbooking because this practice of doctors is large and has many patients.

I have been under Dr. Lockhart's care since 2009 and, she is one of the best. This Doctor has a heart of Gold! She is very professional, knowledgeable, caring and just an amazing person. When I first started with Dr. Lockhart, I had difficulties getting pregnant and or staying pregnant. I have troubled with endometriosis for many years which made the process difficult. Dr. Lockhart gave me hope whether or not she knew it, or not. Today I have a Beautiful seven-month-old daughter.

I adore Dr. Lockhart. She is knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. The staff are wonderful and clean, a little bit of a wait but not extreme. Dr. Lockhart makes it her business to give you that one on one, she listen's, understands, and if there's ever a question that she wasn't sure about , you bet she will get it AND either her or her staff will get back to you. She's thorough and cares. Honestly, I wish I could have met her sooner. I DEFINATELY would recommend her. Trust me, you'll love her!

Dr. lockhart delivered my second child and the experience was awful! she was so unprofessional right down to her long finger nails when delivering children. she had a poor attitude when it was time for me to push with no pain relief she told me not to make any noise! with all due respect you are a delivering my baby and you should be comforting me during my contractions and not telling me not to make any noise. the office south bay obgyn has gone down hill since dr judge no longer delivers.

Dr. Lockhart does not throughly review the results of tests that she orders. The office is extremely disorganized and the doctors are NOT on the cutting edge of research. They are stuck in the 80's..
