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. Laker
Dr. Laker is a great doctor with a fantastic personality. I feel very comfortable with him and I never feel he is rushing me. He did surgery on my knee and very soon I am having a hip replacement. I have a lot of confidence in him and would definitely recommend him to anyone. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to.

Awesome Dr. Laker!
Dr. Laker has such a fantastic doctor to patient relationship. He doesn’t just examine you and run to the next patient, he takes the time to really listen to me and my concerns, and never makes me feel like I’m asking any dumb questions. I rate him 20 out of 10!

Great knowledgeable and personable doctor. He
Dr. Laker is a great doctor. He takes time to explain things . He explains in a way that patients can understand. He did both my hip replacements. And I don’t think I could have found a better doctor . He cares and is genuinely concerned about his patients .

Dr. Laker did my knee replacement, cared for me prior to surgery, and is treating me now for my other knee. He is efficient and straightforward, which I appreciate and confirms my trust in him. I feel heard and cared for.

Have not been in for about two years, but got an appointment within two days when I needed one. Very short wait in reception area before been seen. Dr. Laker explains things very well, answers all my questions, and gives treatment options. He is a gem.
