Dr Lake was very knowledgeable about my medical issues. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism in his field of specialty.
Dr lake is the best. He listened, understood my fears and concerns and put me at ease. Very easy to talk to.
Dr Thomas Lake explained what he had done during surgery.
Front desk and doctor very polite and professional
I waited 45 minutes past my appointment time to be shown to a room, but Dr. Lake is the best. He's worth the wait.
