Verified Patient Reviews for Stephen Lakner, MD
Very thorough exam and explanations.
Dr. Lakers met with me first in his office to have a conversation about my health. Dod the actual exams quickly (nurse present) and chatty to keep me distracted. I had a particular question that required me to show him and he stayed right in business mode but also very interested to see what I meant and explained that spot. He was very caring, looked me in the eye. Dr Lakner is not one of those doctors that types on a device and doesn't really connect. I whole heartedly recommend him.
Doctor was knowledgeable about my health and made sure I made necessary appointments with other facilities for my other care.
Dr. Lakner was friendly and easy to talk to. He seemed to listen to what i was saying before replying back. He also didn’t ignore my baby— he said hello to him and he even strapped him in his car seat when i was busy getting my blood drawn. It was my first appt with Dr. Lakner and he seems like a kind person, not just as a doctor.
Dr. Lakner was very thorough. He referred to my last annual appointment and made useful comments. He also performed a test and provided immediate comments. I will be making my appointment for my next annual exam. He is a highly professional and skilled physician.
The receptionist was very pleasant and Dr. Lakner was excellent as usual.
good bedside manner, interested in me as a person
