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.

It's a busy bustling practice, but the staff are smart and friendly and helpful. James is a total star. Dr Lomis is amazing. Clear and honest and a straight talker. He saved my life.

His practice is like a factory assembly line. He is in too much of hurry to examine or listen. Had a Homoroidectomy, 6 weeks after surgery he still kept telling me that bleeding every day & being in constant pain was normal. I had gone to two emergency rooms and one other doctor who had performed hundreds of Homoroidectomy, all indicated Fissure. He said the other doctors did not know what they were talking about and just walked out telling me to come back in a month. Avoid him like a plague

I was seen by Dr.Lomis to have a soft tissue mass removed from my left breast. Dr. Lomis performed a lumpectomy on my breast. This surgeon is gifted and did a excellent job. He is confident, compassionate, forthright, and empathetic. I am truly grateful to have had Dr. Lomis as my surgeon.

This guy us in too much of a hurry to be bothered by his patients problems. He messed up my hernia surgery and a year later my life has changed because I'm in pain every day. I can't do half the things I used to do! Dr. Lomis is a joke and had absolutely no viable solutions for me when I told him what he did to me. DO NOT GO TO DR> LOMIS!!! YOU WILL BE SORRY!!! And, his office is VERY noisy and unprofessional.

My teenage daughter needed surgery and everything happened so fast. We are Medical patients, so I wasn't expecting too much. Boy, was I way off base. He is an outstanding physician. He listens to all your concerns and answers in layman terms. This man is a Physician because of an actual desire to want to help people and not because of the prestige. His office staff is nothing short of amazing. Definitely the cream of the crop. Nothing bad to say about this office. They genuinely care.

The office is too small for the amount of people that are waiting there. I showed up 45 min early and I still had to wait past my appointment time up to an hour. Furthermore, They don't tell you over the phone that they don't accept cash only checks and they do not pay for parking. Even if you do pay, they still try to send you a bill over the mail. I would not recommend going to this doctor because of the location and office. Still don't know why I have pain in my breast. Was told its normal!
