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. Lauter performed my gastric bypass several years. When I first met Dr. Lauter, he was more than willing to answer any and all questions my parents and I threw at him. After experiencing complications he is the only one who would listen to me and ended up saving my life. Dr. Lauter is amazing and if you are lucky enough to have him as your surgeon he will take care of you.

We are so happy to read such a great review!
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lauter?
Dr. Lauter explained the procedure clearly and thoroughly. He answered all my questions and encouraged me to contact him if any questions came up after leaving his office. He was compassionate and did not rush through our appointments. His staff was professional, warm, welcoming and respectful. My surgery was not remarkable, my recovery was extraordinary! I have highly recommend Dr. Lauter to friends and family, and they report the same positive experiences!
