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.

This review is a reflection of the office staff. The office staff is untrained. They cannot confirm if Dr is accepting new patients, yet proceeds to ask all sorts of personal and financial questions.

Dr.Lazar explains everything you never knew you needed to know. He is kind and makes eye contact when speaking with you rather than typing on his computer as some psychiatrists have been said to do. Lovely offices and staff.

I called Dr. Lazar’s practice twice, left voicemails both times, and never heard back. Very rude, unprofessional and careless, especially for a mental health professional.
