Not thrilled about the wait time and they tend to do things "old-school" here...no credit cards accepted for copay and rx's are written on a typewriter! I definitely felt like Dr. Lachman tried to get to the route of the problem with my ear. I attribute the long wait time to the fact that he spends a dedicated amount of time with each patient, in addition, a member of his front staff called to advise me that there were 2 appointments scheduled at my time so I would have to wait "a bit." It was more than a bit, but worth it.

Dr. Lachman explained each procedure in a comprehensive and thorough manner. My referral was made via internet and I did not have a copy to submit to Dr. Lachman's front office staff; they should have requested a copy when my appt. was confirmed via telephone, I would have brought it with me.

Dr. L is a straight professional... amazing, and can figure out any ENT/sinus issue. Only note is there is he only takes co-pay in cash or check form rather than just running your credit/debit card.

I liked Dr. Lachman a lot. He gave straight forward assestment and advice. The wait was a bit over an hour but the nice receptionist said they were understafffed on this particular day.

Dr Visit went well, however the wait time was over an Hr. this was due, the receptionist advised me that he already had appointments made thru thier office for the same time as I made my appointment on-line and the other patients came first, 4 patients came in after me, however were seen before me. This is unaccepable , and if they are going to use this service it should be by appointment time. For instance one of the patients that came in after me, her appointment was at 130, my appointment was at 1PM. she arrived a full half hour after me , but went intot he Dr before me. I did not get into the Dr untill 225PM

The wait was quite a while, almost an hour, but at least the first half of the wait I had to spend it filling out forms anyway, and by the time I met with Dr. Lachman, he was very friendly, very knowledgeable and patient in answering my questions, and seemed very thorough. Am very happy I met with him so far, but will probably try to schedule my appts earlier in the day to lessen the risk of waiting a long time.

He was really nice and professional. He answered my questions and didn't rush me out the door. And I learned about this tube that is in our bodies connecting the nose and throat or something like that. Also he really examined everything connected to the ear, nose and throat which I never had done before. So I liked that.

Dr. Lachman was very friendly. I had a severe sinus infection, and the first prescription didnt quite work out. He took the time to explain the reasons why the first set of meds didnt work, & why he was switching them up.
