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.

Excellent gynecologist!
Dr. Stephen Lakner is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to interact. The surgery was very well done and I felt good quickly after. I highly recommend him! He is very polite and for French speakers he speaks French!

Great doctor ever
Our family always says, 'We love Dr. Lakner!' I have been seeing Dr. Lakner for my prenatal care at Rockville and for well-woman checkups at Germantown. Dr. Lakner is very personable and always creates a comfortable atmosphere during my visits. (His nurse is friendly too!) His extensive knowledge and experience help address any concerns I have, and his bedside manner is excellent. He also performed my son’s circumcision, and the result was outstanding. I highly recommend him.

Great OB
Doctor Lakner is a great Doctor. Since I walked into his practice when I was pregnant till I delivered my baby, he was professional and showed me that he really cared. When I was in labor , he made sure I was comfortable and he stayed with me from 11:35 am-until I delivered my baby after midnight. He answered all my questions and concerns throughout the pregnancy. I plan on going back to him if I’m ever pregnant again or for any gynecological needs.His staffs are very professional as well, they were all nice.

I've been coming to this practice for ~ 25 years at this point and, if possible, Dr. Lakner is the ONLY doctor I see there. This is nothing against any of the other doctors but it IS because he takes the time to actually LISTEN.
