Jay Lorah's Online Review Report Card

Pick someone else more qualified. Truly regret having this doctor.

Today was my first appointment with Dr. Lorah and I cannot more highly recommend my new physician. I had been looking for a physician who actually wanted to "know me" - to consider more than just the regular visit that had only focused on symptoms. Dr. Lorah was interested in "me" as a valued patient and a unique person. I was treated as a person of dignity and care, and left his office with a broad smile knowing that I will be cared for and honored as a person and not just a patient.

This guy was a trusted family doctor in Rockland County NY. Suddenly ,one day ,he was gone, and so were all of our medical records. My children are adopted and any records I had are now gone. I contacted his office in Kentucky many times .. they ignored my requests. I said I would even pay for them to mail me mine and my children’s records...My sons have no records at all.... he should be ashamed of the way he treated his loyal patients... we trusted him and counted on him as our family doctor . It’s a big mystery as to why he fled Rockland in the dead of the night with no warning...Beware of Dr.Jay Lorah... make copies of all your medical records... if you don’t, you’ll be sorry !

He was my doctor in Kentucky and told me many many months before he would be leaving for another state. He was an amazing doctor and i miss him so much. I haven't found another doctor like him who I felt comfortable enough to open up to. Only wish he would come back closer to me so i could continue having him as my doctor. His new patients he has now are very lucky to have him. If by chance you read this review Dr. Lorah, come to ohio! I'll be the first one through those doors! Such an ol school, caring, and great listener you are! God bless you and your family.

Such a great caring Dr.

So now he's in Rhode Island. He bolted from New York to Kentucky. In NY he left without notice leaving many searching for there medical records. Other reviews on other site indicate similar problems for his former patients in KY. Perhaps he should just be a "house doctor" at a hospital so when he splits for any other state on his bucket list people won't miss him.

Dr Jay Lorah should be ashamed of himself. He is an unethical doctor who deserves to have his medical license revoked permanently. He was the family doctor in Rockland County NY for many people. In 2013 he left town without a word, and left hundreds of patients without access to their medical records. Many tried to contact his new office in KY to have their medical records sent to a new doctor, without any response or compliance from Dr. Lorah or his staff. It is disgusting that he would leave so many patients without access to their medical records, and ILLEGAL. Shame on you Dr. Lorah. I do not recommend ANY prospective patient see this man.

Any professional is taught that records are crucial. That being said, holding patients medical records and returning them to their rightful owners is very much a part of the job! My medical records were not returned to me after countless requests so I feel for those who needed them more than I did. A professional doctor does not leave "former patients" behind and ignore requests for records regardless of "stuff" that happened as some have described. Obviously Dr. Lorah has relocated and has continued his practice elsewhere. This tells me he is should be able to do right by his former patients. Unfortunately he has chosen not to. He had an obligation to his "former patients" that he most definitely did not fulfill. No one is saying that he is a bad person. However he most definitely was negligent. The fact also that my records are floating around somewhere is not comforting. This is the reason for my dissatisfied review.

Amazing listener, logical, thorough, insightful, very perceptive, knowledgeable...in short exceptionally skilled. God bless and multiply his time so he may give to others as he has given me and my family.

So far I have been a patient of his for a year and he is a good man who actually seems to care he has no problem listening I hope he sticks around.
