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.

My Experience
Dr Lazarou listened to my concerns and guided me through my vaginal hysterectomy. I am very happy with the results and my recovery. My quality of life is now so much better than it was before my surgery.

One of the best
Dr. Lazarou is all around an excellent physician. He cares, he is kind, he makes you feel comfortable. Explains everything with patience and listens to your needs. He is professional and knowledgeable and easy to reach via the MYchart app anytime I had questions. From the consultation to my 3 month follow up, he made me feel like I was part of his family. Highly recommend.

Dr. Lazarou is the best. He made me feel comfortable, listened to find the problem and then fixed it. He truly cares about his patients. If you’re looking for a specialist with bedside manner, he is for you. Not many physicians make an office visit fun.

My experience with Dr. Lazarou and his team
Dr. Lazarou and his team was extremely knowledgeable, caring and patient with me. All my questions and concerns were addressed clearly. I would definitely refer my family and friends to Dr. Lazarou. I was a patient of his about 10 years ago and found him to be a wonderful doctor at that time and again I was very happy with my care this time.

Dropped bladder
I initially saw Dr. Lazarou for my dropped bladder, which I had repaired along with a hysterectomy 20 years prior (with another doctor). After examination Dr. Lazarou suggested trying a pessary first before having to do surgery, unfortunately that didn’t work and surgery was scheduled. The surgery was outpatient at the hospital and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I saw Dr. Lazarou prior to surgery and after surgery before going home that afternoon. I am now 3 months out and I feel terrific. I will be seeing Dr. Lazarou for my last follow up this week.

A Happy Patient
Office visits have always been timely and he takes the time to answer questions, explain procedures and offers options (if available). Very professional, personable and makes you feel at ease. I sought out Dr. Lazarou for urinary incontinence issues which I thought were just age related and that my only option would be surgery. I was very happy to hear that it was not age related but could be treated conservatively with a minimally invasive procedure and medication. Office staff have been responsive and efficient as far as scheduling and even using telehealth as needed for follow up visits. I would highly recommend!!

Great experience with Dr Lazarou as my surgeon.
Staff was friendly. I didn’t have to wait Dr Lazarou was prompt with his appointments. His physician assistant Catherine is brilliant. Dr Lazarou did my surgery and took time to explain everything. I have recovered nicely. He did an excellent job.

Hysterectomy and reconstructive surgery
I am extremely satisfied with the care of Dr. Lazarou's team and with the results. I was nervous about having this surgery. I am now a few moths out and I am so happy that I had it done. I feel that I was and am in very good hands.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Lazarou performed an open partial hysterectomy, repositioning of vagina and repair of prolapsed bladder on me. It was not an easy decision to have this surgery given all that could go wrong but Dr Lazarou and his staff answered all my questions and put me at ease. The recovery was tough but I'm thrilled with the results. He far exceeded all my expectations on the outcome. From my experience I would say Dr. Lazarou is a caring, knowledgeable and very skilled surgeon. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

Kind, Patient, Understanding
I recently had a procedure performed by Dr. Lazarou. He was very patient with all of my concerns, questions and we went over all of the options with me and my husband. Before, during and after my surgery I was treated with respect, compassion by Dr. Lazarou, his staff and the hospital staff, everyone made me feel at ease with my decision. I highly recommend Dr. Lazarou, his knowledge, dedication, empathy for my concerns provided me with reassurance during this process. I am so grateful for his care, he is truly a gentleman and amazing doctor.

Dr. Lazaro and his staff should all be rated a “10”. I had the privilege of not only being treated by him but also two nurses and nurse practitioner. They are all wonderful making me feel at ease, helped make procedures non-stressful, and informed me of what and why they were testing for. Dr. Lazarou performed an injection procedure in bladder to help relieve my incontinence issues. The results have changed my life. After suffering for years with overactive and urge incontinence I no longer have to plan my daily life around visits to bathrooms and no longer require medication. I highly recommend Dr. Lazarou

Great surgeon wonderful person
I was following up after having had Urogyno surgery in December. Besides having a great outcome, I am always treated with respect and concern during my checkup. Dr. Lazarou allows me ample time to voice my concerns. I have already recommended him to a number of my friends and colleagues. He is a credit to the NYU Langone team.

My insurance company researched Urogynocologists for me. I selected Dr Lazarou even though he is located in NY and I reside in NJ. The night before my first appointment, he called to ask why I hadn’t chosen a local doctor as this would require many appointments.I chose to make the long drive based on his stellar reputation . At the first appointment , I realized that he was the doctor I was searching for. He was kind , professional and assured me that he would help me decide whether surgery was the right decision for me.

Dr. Lazarou performed a bladder procedure on me in May, 2024. He was extremely professional and competent. His bedside manner is exceptional, as he explained everything to me about what to expect in great detail before and during the procedure. His knowledge and ability to communicate with me as a patient, helped alleviate my anxiety. The procedure was a success, and I highly recommend Dr. Lazarou.
