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.

They missed on a very serious symptoms that put my life in danger years later. Rude. Arrogant. Pushing his religious beliefs. Terrible disorganized office staff. Tunnel bison which made him and Frances Zabrocky, his associate miss on obvious diagnosis and put my life in danger. I would not get near that office.

Dr. Lang is wonderful--knowledgeable, skilled and wholistic. The staff, on the other hand, is difficult to deal with at times and as a previous review said, "the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing". Dr. Lang gets 5 stars, but in dealing with the office staff, I will give the whole experience a 3 or 4.

A phenomenally wise doctor who understands the nuances of the human body and its unique processes. Dr. Lang takes a firm stand in his holistic approach to wellness, taking all aspects of the patient into account. Open minded, intuitive and brilliant Doctor Lang has been a cherished doctor of mine since my mid-teens. With a thyroid no one else could recognize as uncooperative or underperforming, Dr Lang helped me immediately by acknowledging my symptoms and has treated me ever since. What a gift!

Dr. Lang is brilliant 5 stars for him. In the past 5 years, I have only seen him once. He depends upon APRNs to provide his care and I have had 4 different practicianers in those 5 years. Not one has looked ahead to schedule tests prior to my appt. (in office tests) and twice I've had test ordered and not been able to get results. Other reviewers describing difficulties getting the office to respond for prescription refills also happens to me every single time my 'script

My complaint is my repeated experience of having to wait an inordinate amount of time for authorization of prescription refills.I've had to hound the office for simple refills which ought to have been done expediently. Regarding the office staff, the right hand does not appear to know what the left hand is doing.It's difficult to "get through" due to the doctor's location in two seperate offices. Making contact can be frustrating. But,Dr. Lang is brilliant and wise; I'm blessed to be his patient

Dr. Lang saved my life. He thought outside of the box and solved mysteries many other doctors couldn't. Kind, compassionate and caring. Dr. Lang is a real healer, a doctor whom I am so fortunate to have connected with. Sometimes he is behind and I had to wait but that's because he takes time with each person. Real time. And he really listens.
