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.

I have seen Dr. Lakin for quite a few issues...he was thorough and always had my best interest in mind. He saved both my hand and finger on two separate occasions.

Would highly recommend him. He never rushed me and answered all my questions. His care was top notch and thanks to him I am back to playing golf again when I never thought it to be possible .

Dr. Lakin was really great. He answered all of my questions very thoroughly and actually listened to my concerns. I feel that in this digital and fast-moving age, it's harder and harder to find a doctor with an old school and family feel like this. He took his time, was articulate, and paid attention to all the details of my case (I can ell he had done his homework beforehand). With his treatment and instructions and my elbow is doing great. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Dr. Lakin any of my family or friends. I was referred to him by a colleague of mine after I slipped on ice and fractured my arm. Dr. Lakin and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process. The office staff were very responsive and helpful in setting up all of my appointments and answering questions I had. Dr. Lakin was smart, compassionate, and really made me feel at home. My surgery went smooth and I was back in action in no time. Thanks again!
