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. Laird is truly a Heaven sent doctor! I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the care administered by him. He prayed with me and my family before the surgery, that spoke so much volume! He’s also a very caring and concerned doctor. I am so thankful that it was in God’s plan for Dr. Laird to be my doctor!

Excellent
Dr. Laird explains things in a way that is easy to understand. He is very kind and compassionate. He gives you ample opportunity to ask any questions and then is very reassuring with the answers. He also does not try to force a particular treatment on you that you may not want.

Dr Laird is extremely kind and goes out of his way to make sure that you have all the information you need. He prayed with me before surgery and that meant so much!

Dr. Laird and his team were patient and caring, when I brought up a concern it wasn’t brushed off, he listened and addressed. They helped coordinate my plan of treatment with other doctors so I didn’t have to worry.

Laird: superior surgeon and outstanding person – Feb 08, 2024

Grateful
I thank God for my son being sent to Dr. Laird. Dr. Laird took plenty of time to determine what was happening, what was needed and explained the procedure in detail, so we new what to espect. He also told us about options and why one procedure was better than another in my son's case. He was patient, kind, very knowledgeable, and supportive. I feel like we had the best surgeon possible. I'd trust his advice any time.

Wonderful!!!
Dr. Laird has done 3 different surgeries on me. I trust him and that’s a hard thing to find when seeing some doctors. He’s always nice, listens, explains things and doesn’t rush. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for surgery...(hopefully I won’t have anymore though). I highly recommend him.

By far one of the rudest doctors I've ever had a consultation with. Sized me up in less than 5 mins. How's that even possible? Some doctor's need to check themselves. Empathize instead of arrogance. Didn't they teach you that in med school?

Dr. Laird is the best doctor I've seen in many years. He does not rush you like you're on an assembly line. He asks questions and actually listens to you and talks with you about your concerns and options. He treats patients with care and lets you know what to expect every step of the way. I have never said this about a doctor before, but medically, I trust Dr. Laird completely. Office staff is friendly and helpful too (another rare occurrence these days).

I've seen Dr. Laird 4 times now. Each and every time he is the most patient, understanding, likeable, easy going, polite doctor I have ever seen. He takes his time and listens. He is NEVER in a rush to get out of the room. He has involved my husband in the visit each time, making sure we both understand what he's looking for/at, what he feels the treatment should be. He answers every question with understanding. I feel safe and at ease knowing he is my doctor. THANK YOU DR. LAIRD.
