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. Lake is a very caring doctor. She took time to explain what I should be doing while taking Wegovy. I have been on it since May, and my PCP had not given me the info she gave. Dr. Lake and I now have a plan to monitor my weight loss.

Dr, Lake is always very concerned and interested in any way she can help me as her patient to improve my health. She always offers me information on the newest and up to date options that would benefit me. I have been a diabetic for 55 years and since I have been a patient under Dr Lakes care My health has improved because of her. I have not had any issues and am grateful I have her as my endocrinologist.

Dr Lake is a pleasant and caring doctor. But I think I am just used to my endocrinologist before who does a thorough check on me. I think maybe she just have a different style.

Dr Lake and I discussed another medication to take the place of trulisity. The advantage as well as the side effects and what to look out for and to call her if I can't handle it on my own and if I have an emergency. Things seem to going well so far.
