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. Lakhian is one of the most professional and knowledgable doctors I have ever met. I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking help with endocrine issues. Her office and staff are also excellent. We are fortunate to have specialists like Dr. Lakhian in our area.

Dr. Lakhain is a no nonsense doctor and wants her patients to follow her instructions so hopefully they will do well. When her patients are during well it makes her look good (like a teacher wanting her students to do well). She will work with you in trying not to prescribe unnecessary medication. I would recommend her to family and friends.

Dr. Lakhian was a fine doctor and her office has some great diabetes educators. My experience with the office staff at Endocrine Associates has been terrible. I was not told that they no longer carry my insurance until two office visits later and was given a $500+ bill. Every person I talked to in the office was rude and was quick to pass me to another employee or answering machine (Even before I owed them money). I would NOT recommend this office to anyone. Worst office staff I have ever met.

I had a very bad experience with this dr. She has horrible bedside manners . I've been through several hardships ( losing both my parents and my only daughter to cancer ) making the move down here from South Texas was not easy either . She made my visit even more miserable . There are plenty of Drs out there that take pride in what they do and don't make you feel as i if they are the one and only available in their expertise . I sure appreciate all my Drs past and present , sadly not this one

She guided me through hyper and hypo thyroidism, during 2 separate pregnancies, including twins. She's always willing to listen, and treats you as if she has all the time in the world.

After radioactive iodine treatment Dr. Lakhian did not catch my thyroid when it was back within normal range I have now spent 2 years unsuccessfully trying to bring it back up to normal range and was discharged from her office without any notice at all. I was a cash patient forced to buy a $350 medication I couldn't even take because they overlooked my liver problems that they diagnosed in the first place. They destroyed my health then refused to see me as a patient. Worst experience of my life.

Dr. Lakhian is very knowledgeable and the office environment is nice. Wait time is unacceptable. My wait was always 30 minutes for the first one in the morning. My husband usually waited over an hour for an afternoon appointment, and had to leave once without being seen because he had to get back to work. They still charged us for our co-pay & I had to call them to request it be refunded. When i mentioned my husband's wait time to Dr Lakhian, she said that's good, wait is usually 2 hours!
