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 started seeing Dr. Lanning's staff in March, began seeing Dr. Lanning himself in June and my baby was born in late August '21. I do not recommend Dr. Lanning. Communication throughout my pregnancy was extremely poor, as was his bedside manner in all appointments and during labor and delivery. He had a habit of contradicting himself on the answers to questions from appointment to appointment and withholding key information, which continued all the way through my postpartum appointments. Some of the other, more egregious issues include the following. During labor, he broke my water without conducting an informed consent or informing me that he was going to do it until it was in progress. During my emergency C-section, my daughter's head was sliced by the scalpel; according to a study published by the American Journal of Obstretrics and Gynecology, the incidence of fetal laceration during C-sections varies from 0.7-1.9%. Four months later, she still has a scar.

I love Dr. Lanning but not his staff. It is impossible to get to him. This office has an amazing amount of bad reviews for the staff. I now see why. How come it is so hard to communicate with you patients when they are leaving messages? How come you cannot get a surgery date return phone call? How come the office is not more organized. I absolutely adore this man. He delivered several of my grandchildren. Sad he is surrounded by such incompetence.

Dr. Lanning has been my doctor for over 27 years. I would not even think of going to anyone else. He is thougher and you are made to feel comfortable no matter what the visit is far. His office staff is what every office should be. I highly recommend Dr. Lanning.
