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.

Amazing even with translator
Dr. Lantz was very calm and collected during our visit. When things were getting confusing using an Arabic interpreter she still was able to answer the questions in different ways that made sense to me and my family.

She is very sweet and was right there to see us. She saw my mother and father and talked to us together for awhile and answered all of our questions. If you have an elderly relative you care about you, you should bring them to see her.
