William Lasswell's Online Review Report Card

I Have been under Doctor William Lasswells practice for over eight years and have witnessed his decline in my patient care to the point of total frustration from lack of care to out right incompetence bordering on malpractice Recently I was admitted to the ER at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Medical Center with very high blood sugar levels and dangerous high blood pressure. My Blood Sugar Levels have been under control for years Not one time did anyone from Diabetes and Endocrine Associates visit me during their rounds. More shocking I did not receive any of my medications for over 24 hours when I was finally given a insulin shot. After my release still no contact until I called Lassells answering service. Hours later his associate told me to double my metformin dosage and call for an appointment the following week. As our consultation was ending he berated me for missing appointments which I had called to cancel due to schedule conflicts and illness. $$$$ When I felt well enough to pick up my prescription at the pharmacy the Pharmacist told me they had been calling his office for several days since March 9 and they never responded. A day or two later still no response In the end HE FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY PRESRIBING INSTUCTIONS FOR MY NEW MEDICATION TO MY PHARMACY Finally after a very terse voice mail they finally complied and provided instructions after eight days I recently received a letter of termination which is a joke since I had already made arrangements to see a competent Doctor.

Outstanding experience with this office and doctor. They take care of everything........ Thank you Dr. Lasswell.

Worst Dr. Ever. He needs to retire. I had to find a new doctor to take care of my needs.

My wife was referred to Dr. Laswell by our Primary for a thyroid biopsy. When we heard nothing I called March 2020. Was told the lab reports sent by Primary were unreadable and to send again. I did instruct to send again. Didnt hear anything so called again late March. Was told they would see what could be done but couldnt promise anything. No response so called again May 21. Office Asst. said she would review what they had AND PROMISED TO CALL ME MONDAY MAY 25. No call as of June 7th. The practice is either unprofessional or incompetent.

I came to Dr. Lasswell from another local doctor who is rated highly...... so I was used to good care. But Dr. Lasswell and the staff have exceeded my previous doctor......at least twofold. Simply put the program takes care of everything. Your blood is tested every three months and they often look at other areas besides diabetes. For example one of their blood tests revealed that I had very low testosterone.... it is being addressed now by a doctor referred by Dr. Lasswell. And Dr Lasswell...... outstanding. Let me give you just one example... A few weeks ago he had some new test results that I needed. I did not make it to the office... then out of nowhere I get a phone call from Dr. Lasswell over the weekend inquiring about what I wanted to do with the test results. I asked him to fax them to the other doctor and it was done. GREAT DOCTOR........ PART OF A GREAT PROGRAM

Dr. Lasswell is a quiet and reserved doctor but under that quiet demeanor is a caring sincere professional. I have not known any doctors who returns your phone calls in a timely manner and even on his day off. Here is an example of how caring he is I mentioned to him I was recently married on Valentines Day he called me to wish me a happy valentines day. Do you know any doctor who would do that? Dont let that reserved manner fool you into believing he is uncaring. Dont believe those negative comments either. He is a good doctor.

The only response from questions is always the same Numbers need to be between 80150. No specific help beyond that. You have to go every three months in order to keep Insulin prescriptions. No other Diabetes physicians of any note except those in his practice in Vero Beach. Knows nothing about continuous glucose monitor systems or at least refuses to discuss them other then giving the approval when you contact a manufacturer on your own. Unfortunately the physicians in his practice is all you can choose from.

Always a great dc. He has been amazing and the staff has always made me feel like they cared and been very helpful

Worlds worst. By the time you are finished reading their orders and requirements on their site from not wearing cologne to doing your own due diligence on your insurance to telling you how to obtain forms on their website not caring if you have a printer or not and an array of other orders you need to take a nap. I was literally afraid to call their office so I waited a day. And when I did Eva Braun answered and starting barking more orders at me. I politely hung the phone up and went somewhere else. There quite a few in Vero so they should understand they arent the only game in town.
