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.
Wonderful & Caring Dr!

I have seen Dr Lalonde on multiple occasions in the office and for an ankle surgery several years ago. He has always been so caring, so professional and concerned about my medical care. I would highly recommend Dr Lalonde to anyone needing a foot and ankle specialist
