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. Lakata has been my doctor for 25 plus years and my husbands until he died 9 years ago. He has always been professional, very knowledgable, caring and hasalways listened carefully and answered my questions. He is kind, thoughtfuland has a vast medical knowledge. I am so grateful for him and haverecommended him to my friends.

Dr. Lakata has been my dr for many years! I couldn't imagine seeing anyone else. I have had the strangest medical issues and he has always taken such wonderful care of me. He is patient, kind and understanding. He has gone out of his way to see me early in the morning because of my crazy schedule. I refer him to anyone looking for a terrific health care provider.

Dr.L is just plain awesome. He has been our MD for 7 of our family members. I was the first to see him of our family after Dr. Guillard left and Dr. L took over his patients.I have been seeing him over 20 yrs ! He is kind, responsive, has the added education of being a pharmacist as well. As an RN of 35 yrs I would highly recommend Dr L. He is prompt with phone call returns, genuinely cares about his patients and will forever be my Internal Med doc. He communicates well with my other physicians

About Me

care philosophy

I encourage my patients to say what is on their mind without having them feel uncomfortable. I am a good listener, which is a valuable attribute. I always listen to my patients and include them (and their families) in decisions about their health care.
