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. Lander has been the pediatrician for my 2 daughters for over 21 years. He is fantastic...we completely trust him. He is thorough and pays attention to every detail. He has kindly tolerated every stupid question that I have asked over the years, and never once made me feel stupid for asking. You will not find a better doctor. Try Dr. Lander...you will be glad you did.

I wouldn't recommend his office. First of all there is a constant flow of doctors working there. You see one due to a sick visit and you have to schedule follow up with another because first one is not working there any longer, or you would get appointment with a nurse. Office location is right next to our house and we saw doctors there for about 8 years now. Mistakes with insurance codes are regular with his staff, and cost you long hours to figure them out. For about 3 years now I am asking them to correct mistake they made copying my son's insurance ID... I receive bills stating our insurance was denied after every office visit, and every time it is due to one letter misspelled in ID. No one cares to correct it no matter how many times I asked them to do so. "We were understaffed today! " I received an explanation from Dr. Lander. "What about other days , Doctor?"

Dr Lander has taken care of all three of my children for over 20 years... He is kind and soft spoken, very thorough and will leave NO stone unturned. He is a stickler for detail and I believe he always has my child's best interest at heart. I trust him completely and appreciate his honesty. Recently my son was admitted to the hospital and I asked for Dr Lander to be notified. He was not, so I called over to his Office and he came immediately. He's THE BEST! His Staff is always friendly to me...
