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.

Excellent Surgeon
Our family is so very thankful to Dr. Michael Lazar for his excellent, precise skills while saving our loved one's life. Our loved one had to have an extremely defective bicuspid valve replaced in a very difficult surgery. Dr. Lazar performed this with ease and saved our loved one's life. We are so very grateful.I'd also like to thank him for his gentle, down-to-earth mannerism and his endearing sense of humor. Dr. Lazar was able to make us feel so at ease in what would normally be a very stressful situation. Dr. Lazar is not only brilliant and knowledgeable but so humble with a sweet sense of humor. We will always be grateful to him.

This doctor is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail along with various exceptions that can occur. Very easy to talk to and takes his time with you. I had an ascending aortic aneurysm repair and he did an amazing job. I wouldn’t be here today without this amazing man.
