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. Lara listens to his patients. I had seen many ENT's and they treated me like i was a crazed hypochondriac. Dr. Lara did a CT scan and found out that many of my sinus infections were due to a deviated septum, I had ballon sinuplasty done on March of 2014. I have only had a couple of sinus infections since my surgery instead of one consistent one for the winter. I travel from the East side of Tucson to Campbell to seeDdr. Lara and will continue to do so.

Get a second opinion from a U of A physician or, better yet, see a U of A physician! My eardrum will never recover.

On 06/23/18, I was diagnosed with an ear infection. On 06/27/18, I met with Dr. Ray Lara for confirmation the infection was reacting to antibiotics; and nothing else was wrong. I stated to him I've never had an ear infection and had no clue as to what to expect from the healing process. He chose to remove ear wax using a painful procedure called micro-suction. A 2nd and 3rd ENT both said he should have waited out the antibiotics prior to such an aggressive procedure. My ears now ring.

I am from Ukraine and have been a patient of Dr. Lara for more than six years. He is a very talented ENT doctor and I believe in his decisions. He has always been kind, carrying and patient with me, and he has helped me very much! His staff is very professional and helpful. They are never too busy to talk to me, when I leave a message they always call back. Svitlana
