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 went years undiagnosed until I went to Dr Lakritz, he diagnosed me in 10 minutes and went ahead and ordered genetic testing for me to confirm I had this rare disease. He even fought with the insurance company to get me the testing. He is the best!!! up to date reading medical journals gives him the advantage in helping his patients

Best doctor in Massachusetts by far. Dr. Lakritz listens, understands, and always makes sure your needs as his patient have been met. For years I avoided doctors because of the way they treated family members and myself but he completely restored my faith in the medical field. Both my Husband and oldest son see him and they adore him as well. Guarantee you will not meet another like him. I don't know who these negative reviews are referring to but it surely isn't the doctor Lakritz I see!

He assumed that a recovering addict on the Suboxone program was drunk in his office and didn't want to let him go without a ride that recovering Suboxone program attic was not drinking he had a hard day at work and that chase the recovering addict out of his program after 8 years shame on him I hope he learns by his mistake cuz there are recovering addicts out there that count on his program 8 years is too long to be on Suboxone program it's time to live our own lives and not be tied down yeah I give him four stars when I first started but after my experience after 8 years I'll give him a star for at least the in there for his patient

I look forward to my appointments with Dr. Lakritz, he is beyond understanding and genuinely cares. He listens and never makes me feel like I'm crazy or wrong even when I am! I wish all practicing physicians had his attitude towards medical care. I recommend him 10000%. Guaranteed you will love being his patient knowing you're in excellent hands.

Dr. Lakritz is an excellent doctor who takes the time to listen attentively which is not easy to find anymore these days. He always addresses all my concerns and goes over the details of my medications explaining everything in a way that's easy for me to understand. The waiting room is comfy and the staff is extremely kind, knowledgeable and helpful. There's some gorgeous plants in there, you know what they say: you can tell a good doctor when his plants live! Highly recommended.

Doctor took his time to listen on first apt, Watch out 2 strike missing appt even by calling head he will drop you. Receptionist are inconsistent and disorganized. Not a friendly environment. I try to appeal why he drop me Doc didn't want to listen, according to Receptionist is his rule he doesn't want to hear you out. Noo Good!! a total waste of my time. NOT HAPPY!

I would highly recommend Dr Lakritz due to his knowledge and his caring concern for me emotionally and physically. He spent time to ask questions in order to get a complete picture of my total wellness. He takes the time to explain issues and plans for improving your health.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lakritz for many years. Not only do I have the highest respect for him and his great care of "me" but also appreciate the level of trust he has in me, as a patient, when I need immediate help. I never have to leave his office with questions in my mind; he takes the time to answer them before I leave. I never mind waiting for my visit, because I know I will get as much time as I need, too. He also gives great care to other members of my family. Thank you Dr. Lakritz!
