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.

Great Doctor
He came in and immediately starting asking questions. If there were a question he was unsure he would ask again to be sure he had all the facts straight. He is a very straight forward guns blazing personality. In my condition I appreciated it. He got things rolling for me in a positive direction.

A++ Doctor
Dr Lapidus is very personable with a wonderful bedside manner. He takes time to explain treatments, etc. He is very knowledgeable and worked to find the best treatment for a stubborn infection. He was an integral part of my care team.

Do not use this doctor or refer patients to this doctor. He uses personal opinion, enters hear say of other physicians and malicious, sarcastic comments to permanent medical records that could impact the quality of life that you or your loved ones could receive from decisions made by unbiased third parties such as insurance companies or Medicare. If you use him, request complete copies of medical record and notes to keep.
