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. Lorch is an excellent doctor and compassionate person. He listened, answered questions, explained, and was very patient. Never in a hurry, and helped me decide on a treatment plan. His team works very well together and they were always well informed of my condition, and questions. Each one went out of their way to help me through this difficult time. I would recommend Dr. Lorch and his team to others. I felt very calm and relieved each time I met with Dr. Lorch and his team.

I have been seeing Dr. Lorch since 2009. At each visit, he has guided me with valuable medical expertise, knowhow and caring support in my journey with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. He has always followed up with me after each CT scan promptly. Trust is an important ingredient of a patient and doctor relationship and I have complete trust in Dr. Lorch to work with me with state of the art medical knowledge and skills, empathy and compassion. He is passionate about his work and has always been proactive and involved in my treatments. I would highly recommend him.

I was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer in January of 2017. According to statistics, this gave me a 20% chance of surviving until January of 2018 (regardless of treatment). I'm convinced that along with surgery from Dr. Nehs at Brigham & Women's hospital, Dr. Lorch's handling and oversight of my treatment is the reason I'm alive today ... and have had clear scans since the completion of my treatment in mid-April of 2017. For rare thyroid cancers, insist on seeing Dr. Lorch!
