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.

She was wonderful.

Dr. Lightfoote is absolutely AMAZING; and I adore her! Dr. Lightfoote really got through to me when she told me to have a higher standard in regards to my other doctors and to ask questions (this is something most doctors would never say). She may me understand that it is my doctors job to ensure that I understand everything that is going in with me and in turn I would then be more aware. I’m proud to be her patient and will continue to see her as needed.

Dr. Lynne is warm and knowledgeable. She has cared for me through 2 pregnancies and my general gynecological care. She takes her time answering my questions and I've never felt rushed or ignored in her care. She even manages to remember details about my life and family--checking in on how I am. I would strongly recommend this amazing physician to anyone looking for high quality, comprehensive and compassionate care.

I am sorry to say I found Dr. Lightfoote both rude and condescending. Her manner was abrupt, as if she was annoyed (for no reason that I could see), and it was generally a pretty bad experience. Willing to concede she was having an off-day, but I won't be going back to see her again.

No. She was arrogant and did as little as possible. Did not listen to my heart or lungs, gave no information when I asked if I could be in peri-menopause, and said "I do not do that" when I asked about symptoms of fatigue. No information or follow-up on tests. Long wait time. Worst OBGYN ever. Near useless visit. And they cannot bill insurance properly even when you give them the information in advance. Find a different doctor - Lynn Lightfoote is not interested in treating patients.

Dr. Lightfoote has been my OBGYN for the last 2 years. She is very honest but has always been very thoughtful in her interactions with me concerning my health. She went above and beyond to figure out my medical issue. During that time she listened to my concerns and provided alternative measures to deal with my fibroid issue until I was left with no choice but to undergo surgery. She conducted my surgery and did an excellent job. I'm extremely happy with the result.

Dr. Lightfoote is EXCELLENT! She was my obgyn for my son and provided care and support every step of the way. Dr. Lightfoote answered every one of my questions and took the time to make sure that all of my concerns were addressed. She is incredibly knowledgeable about her practice and I felt confident about her advice and her care. I recommend her to everyone that I know. Love Dr. Lightfoote!

Dr. Lightfoote is one of the most knowledgable, caring and professional doctors I have met. She delivered both of my children and held my hand on many different occasions. She is very friendly and reassuring and goes above and beyond her doctor's duties. She came in after work (when she was not on call) to deliver one of my children because I really wanted her to deliver me. I can not say more positive things about this woman and will continue to refer her to everyone I know.

Dr. Lightfoote is the best OB/GYN I've ever had; period. (1) She really knows her stuff; (2) she's gone above and beyond for me numerous times, is always responsive and always follows-up with me; and (3) her bedside manner has always been comforting and gentle, yet honest. When I moved here, I kept hearing her name over and over when I asked friends for OB referrals. When I finally got an appointment, I was relieved to see that all of my friends were so right about her.
