S. Alan Lord's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Alan Lord saved my life. I truly believe that I was meant to be working as a doctor in Savannah when I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2014 so that I could be operated on by Dr. Lord. Seven years later I have not had a recurrence and I am working full time as a pediatric subspecialist at a large hospital in London. No surgeon can save every patient but I am quite sure that not every surgeon could have saved me and Dr. Lord did.

Dreadful. Treats patients with utter contempt

Unprofessional and uncompassionate. Also made several errors on me surgically. Do not recommend.

Dr. Lord is one of the most qualified surgeons using the Da Vinci robot. From the moment I met him he was professional kind and personable. After a lengthy illness he calmed me and explained in detail the surgery I needed and what would take place before during and after the surgery. I appreciated the fact that so many others in the medical community had high regards for the man and the doctor. My surgery was successful and my recovery has been easy. I respect and recommend Dr. Lord.

Dr. Lord is my daughters surgeon and he has been wonderful He has taken up so much time explaining everything to her and checking on her. We could not have asked for a better doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Alan Lord

Waited 30 minutes in the waiting room and then 2 hours in the exam room. Dr Lord blew off questions I had about a previous infection I had and didnt even want to listen to my concerns. He joked with the nurse about how much I jumped when he examined me started heading for the door within 5 minutes of walking in and curtly told me to eat more apples before the door slammed behind him. For that he charged $250.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lords for over 16 years. I have had 2 surgeries by him. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful for his skills. At age 36 I developed a precancerous tumor. I had just given birth to a new baby...he was 4 mos old the day I had my1st surgery. I was afraid of everything at that point. I was afraid of the surgery the results even the chance of dying. But I was never more at ease once he talked with me. He answered my concerns and made me feel comfortable going into the surgery. I adore his entire staff. Starting at the checkin desk all the way to the checkout desk. His nurse Ruth is wonderful. I am confident I am in good care at their office.

The doctor told me I had cancer. He walked out because he had not reviewed the PET scan before i arrived and left me there crying and afraid. Out in the hall he was laughing and joking and even went in to see another patient. He told me I needed a colostomy and that it was really no big deal. Very insensitive although obviously a very skilled surgeon not a good practice Poor follow through from the office as well. Took MD an extraordinary long time to dictate office notes.

I have seen Dr. Lord 3 times in 3 weeks. I have waited over 2 hours to see him. Today after waiting 2 hours I was told I would have to reschedule because he had a surgery. I will never go back.
