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.

The best! My children loved him! Always was patient and relaxed with them. Very non-alarmist but took care of everything calmly and methodically.

It’s hard to imagine how Dr Lavin doesn’t get all 5 star reviews. He always takes the time to listen, answer questions, and talk about the research behind it. I’ve only received respect and genuine kindness from him, plus he’s never steered me the wrong direction with all 3 of my kids over the years. I highly recommend Dr Lavin.

Dr. Lavin, saw my twins right after they were born. He is a great pediatrician, was gentle and very meticulous. Took the time with both the babies and myself. Explained everything in detail and made us comfortable. The best part is he refused to call our girls A & B he learned their names and really cared. Wish we were closer to the office and were able to continue care with him and his team.

Dr. Lavin has been my sons doctor for years. I find the doctor very personable and helpful. He never rushes through an appointment and will call us back himself if we have any concerns. We love him! He is very popular so sometimes it's hard to get a non-urgent appointment, like a physical, when you want one.

Does not center his attention nor focus on his patients, but on the parents. Condescending tone and attitude towards both patients and parents.
