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. Laske did my brain tumor surgery on 29th Aug 2

Rude and rushed
Did not review My chart, looked at 3 mri s for about 30 seconds. Was told by my orthopedic surgeon that I needed surgery and Dr. Laske says I don't. Even though I am affected at 4 levels of my cervical spine. He was rude and very dismissive. His assistant and receptionists very very nice though.

First appointment
Meeting Dr Laske for the first time, I found him to be very interested in my needs and was very informative in all my options . I appreciated his patience and manner because I was very concerned as to where this would go. He left an open door should I need to come back. Very pleased.

Marvelous Physician
The office environment was excellent. We were treated nicely and did not have to wait unduly. Dr. Laske took his time with us. No question was too foolish or obvious for him not to take his time and patiently explain it to us in simple language. I could not be happier with his professional knowledge and sensitivity to us. I would unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Laske to anyone based on his professional knowledge, his attitude toward his patients, and his obvious concern about them.

Amazing!
Dr Laske is a tremendously wonderful ,yet humble neurosurgeon. He performed neurosurgery on both my cervical and lumbar spine. I met Dr Laske at a time when I was unable to walk Secondary to tremendous pressure on my spinal cord. I am able to walk today thanks to the skilled hands of Dr Laske!

One of the Best
Most neurosurgeons would have pushed for the surgery , while Dr Laske took the time to wait u til it was absolutely necessary to have any surgical procedures completed . He was very sympathetic and his team and hospital affiliations are all the best . I was an inpatient at the Abington Hospital and they made me feel at home and were very good at working together as a team to make me feel comfortable . I have been inpatient at other hospitals and Abington is the best that I have ever had. Highly recommended for neurosurgery and any spine issues.

From the moment I enters the waiting room and met the receptionist, I knew I was at the right practice. I felt st ease and relaxed not knowing what was to come. The physicians assistant was first in the exam room. Very personal and understanding of patient needs and concerns. Dr Laske listened to my issues and concerns. He is very personable and made me feel comfortable . He was honest and straightforward not sugar coating anything for which I truly respect and admire him. The office was quiet, extremely clean and comforting. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone needing that speciality. 5+ stars.

“I’m alive!!!!” Were the first words uttered by my mother Betty Wilson on 2/15/19 after a successful craniotomy performed by Dr Laske, the most exceptionally skilled neurosurgeon practicing to date. We will be eternally grateful to Dr Laske, and his staff for allowing my mother to enjoy a bright future and new days ahead. Dr Laske has made such a tremendous impact on our lives that saying thank you seems like too small of a word to express such a large amount of gratitude, but thank you Dr. Laske!!!! The best neurosurgeon around.
