Lara Church's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Church is awesome! She is patient, explained everything well and really listened to my concerns. Office staff is friendly.

The staff, punctuality, etc is not the issue. As I rarely fill out ratings, I want to in this case to spare any patient having any experiences such as mine. To keep it brief, she prescribed a controlled substance (C2) to me as an elderly man. I did not know the ramifications of a benzodiazepine until I was knee deep in it, under Dr. Church's care, and the experience of weening off of it was absolutely grueling. To add insult to injury, she became defensive and unhelpful when I asked for assistance on cleaning this out of my system without as much discomfort. It became personal for her rather than helpful to the patient. I have seen many physicians in my days. Dr. Church, I am sorry to say, is the lowest bar of medical professionalism that I have encountered.

New to area and my husband and I chose Dr. Church from a list of friend referrals. We have never had such a thorough doctor visit. She talked with us and explained many things. We felt like we had her undivided attention. We are very pleased with Dr. Church and have been with her for over a year.

Dr. Church is amazing! As a new patient, I was treated with the utmost care and no issue was too minor for her. She was not dismissive or willing to let me go without answers. It's such a relief to have a doctor on your side and not treat you as though you are unimportant. Dr. Church is a true advocate for her patients!

“Dr” Lara Church has one of the most horrible patient care ethics I have ever come across. I work for a doctor and can not imagine treating our patients the way she has treated my daughter. We came to the office because of a UTI in which Lara Church ordered a culture, and gave her and antibiotic. She was told, “if you don’t hear from us in 48 hrs then call us so we can give you the results of the culture.” First of all, the patient should not have to call for the results. The office should be sure to call the patient! Never heard from them, so we called. At this point, 2 days later, my daughter was in more pain than she was when she first came in. We were told when we called that the results were on Lara Church’s desk and that they would call us back to let us know what it says. Never received a call. The front desk was told a number of times that she was still in pain and that the antibiotics were not helping. Now it is after hours. I call and speak to the “on call nurse” and explained my issue. I was told that she will send a message but it is not certain that it will be recieved or answered until tomorrow. What is the point of this “urgency line”?? She also told me that I should take her to the ER if it’s that bad. Horrible. It is now 5 days later, my daughter is still experiencing pain an discomfort and we still have not heard from “Dr” Lara Church. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE. Horrible patient care.

Very high and mighty attitude. Staff hangs up on you at times. Cannot believe that BPC still has her in their employ!

After moving to Florida four years ago, I followed a friends recommendation who sees Dr. Church. Best decision! I have a very full medical history which Dr. Church has a capable handle over. She is super organized, as is her office staff (equally important!). Highly recommend!

Very uncaring and the staff that works for her directly are the same way. Negative experience. Would recommend another physician!

The first thing I did after leaving her office was schedule an appointment to find a better doctor, which I did, luckily. I found this doctor to be unsympathetic and dismissive. A waste of my time. Adding insult to injury, her office did not process my insurance and overcharged me by over $250. Serving vulnerable, sick people requires better than she provided. Those who choose to work in the medical profession should show more kindness and provide real help, not overcharge for a whole lot of nothing. I recommend avoiding Dr. Church for anything more complicated than the flu. She will simply outsource to a specialist.
