How likely are you to recommend Dr. Lazar?
Our family is so very thankful to Dr. Michael Lazar for his excellent, precise skills while saving our loved one's life. Our loved one had to have an extremely defective bicuspid valve replaced in a very difficult surgery. Dr. Lazar performed this with ease and saved our loved one's life. We are so very grateful.I'd also like to thank him for his gentle, down-to-earth mannerism and his endearing sense of humor. Dr. Lazar was able to make us feel so at ease in what would normally be a very stressful situation. Dr. Lazar is not only brilliant and knowledgeable but so humble with a sweet sense of humor. We will always be grateful to him.
