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.

Fabulous doctor!! She knows what she’s doing and I consider her one of the best!! I know my child is in good hands. A diagnosis of Lyme is terrifying but Dr. Lachenauer is very knowledgeable and this is her area of expertise. She was kind and spent a lot of time with us and answered every question we had!! We would see her again in a heartbeat and I cannot thank her enough!!

Completely agree with the other patients who have reviewed this dr. After my son’s screening test for Lyme came back positive, she insisted it was a false positive and barely examined him and didn’t perform additional lab tests to confirm. She completely disregarded all my concerns about my son having Lyme and attributed his symptoms to a virus leftover in his system. Almost 2 months later and he is still having flu like symptoms! Don’t waste your time making an appt with her if you suspect Lyme

If you are a Lyme patient, I beg you to find someone else. Her medical opinion and advice are nothing short of negligent. She dismissed my concerns about chronic symptoms, and now my child has significant impairment we're desperately trying to play catch-up to treat due to her incompetence. Find an LLMD!!

she will not listen to you. She is not familiar with Lyme disease at all.
