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.

Poor care and concern for patients!
Dangerous and awful staff! Poor communication.

He’s “our” doctor
My wife and I both go to Dr Lather for our medical care. We have found him to be an excellent physician. He is patient, listens to what we think is going on, thorough in his examinations and diagnosis and treatment(s). Great guy!!

Initially great he seemed liked he really cared. I was sent to a variety of specialist only to get dismissed because I could not sleep for one of the test. he is short tempered at times and does not take in consideration that people out of work for long periods of time do not have the money to go to all kinds of different specialist. He could not even sit down and talk to me about why I could not sleep for a sleep study. He gets his receptionist to tell you that a letter was sent that never come

I have been going to see Dr. Lather for approximately 14 years. His patients and their ills are of the utmost importance to him. When he is in a room with you, he is 100% focused on you. He discusses everything with the patient, ensuring that the patient thoroughly understands the issues at hand. I couldn't recommend a Doctor higher than I do Dr. Lather.

Initially great. He seemed genuinely concerned about me and helping me address my health concerns. But over time, he has become very hurried and short tempered. Also, his nurse is most unpleasant.
