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.

All good

Essentia Virginia Clinic is lucky to have Dr Lauer - she went above and beyond to take care of me before it was too late to consider a repair to my finger

Visit with Dr. Lauer
Very prompt, polite, with a very light touch with the injection I needed to have on my palm for my trigger figure. Knowledgeable and offering all the necessary and relevant information for my condition.

Not worth the wait
I was referred by my original doctor to Dr. Lauer. Scheduling an appointment with her isn't always easy because she seems to have a lot of days off. Then when I do actually get to the office to see her I am always waiting for at least an hour. When she comes in the visit is rushed and she seems to have nothing to say to help me.

Easy and productive visit.
All staff, including DR and Tech Assistant, were very friendly and helpful. They made us feel comfortable. The wait for the treatment (cortisone shot) was a little long however.

Was impressed with both the doctor and PA. The visit was very informative and I left knowing the timeline for recovery. I am also impressed with the breadth of knowledge of the doctor for another hand issue I have. I'm glad to have found a doctor that knows dupuytrens.

Dr Lauer is the best Doctor and Surgeon
Dr Lauer treats you as a person. She explains everything very nicely. She always has time for her patients. She is a great surgeon. I would never go to anyone else for hand issues.

Dr. Lauer review
She seemed to be in quite a hurry. She did a quick assessment of my extremity and did not offer information following that. I asked questions but honestly did not receive any thing I could take away from the assessment. An x ray was reviewed by her. Will it be reviewed by a radiologist as well? Another test was ordered. My primary could have provided the same assessment and the X-ray would have been read by a radiologist. I have no more knowledge about my problem than before I was seen by her. So, to me, it seemed like she was just an avenue to order some tests. I would have liked more information about possible causes and outcomes for my issues.
