David Lazar's Online Review Report Card

Dr Lazar is knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. He treated my dad for a rare disease for 10 years and did everything possible to keep him healthy.

Dr. Lazar is super nice and really spent time with me trying to figure out what was going on with my body. I wanted instant healing, and he explained to me that cures in Rheumatology take time to figure them out. He was 100 % correct and he gave me my normal life back ! I would highly recommend him, and his staff.

Dr. Lazar is thorough, kind and knowledgeable; his staff is pleasant and efficient.

He was my Rheumatologist for a year and for every visit he was very short with me and did not seem to be paying attention or care. I asked questions and felt like I was pulling strings to get any answers. I have chronic pain and have been gathering all my medical records for my current doctors. His are the only notes which have no comments by the provider. I downloaded a bunch of versions of the files as I thought it was a mistake but no, he didn't write any notes except my complaints and the labs ordered.

Reading these high reviews leaves me questioning because most of the time that I've gone to Dr. Lazar, he acts like he's just going through the motions. I have a debilitating form of arthritis and live with chronic pain and he never examines me correctly, he kind of just touches me lightly and makes me do a few poses and moves and then it's over. I feel like that way he can say legally that "I did examine the patient." I never really feel heard with him and his lack of eye contact is disheartening. I will be looking for a new rheumy who has more time and a better bedside manner with his patients.

Dr Lazar is a very kind and compassionate doctor. He spends time with his patients during the visit and always explains everything about a treatment plan. If I have any questions once I leave his office, I always hear back from his office within 24 hours. The best doctor in South Carolina!

I have been going to Dr Lazar for over 2 years now and I have never been disappointed. He is very caring and attentive to all my questions and ailments. He gives me options to choose from for my treatments which I never had before. I highly recommend him for any Rheumatology issues.

When you are experiencing a decline in your health and your ability to function normally, or as you remember what your normal was, and finally a diagnosis is made on your behalf and a course of therapy is chosen that actually works...you almost can't believe it! Dr. Lazar diagnosed my condition and has successfully treated my condition for the past 18 months. As a result, my quality of life has improved dramatically. Also, Dr. Lazar's nursing staff goes above and beyond to coordinate treatment and communcations between the patient and doctor. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Lazar.

Love, love, love Dr. Lazar!!!! I even travel from Katy, Texas to Myrtle Beach to see him!!! He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and has a great bed-side manner!!! I feel like when he tells me something or recommends treatment, he puts my needs first and I know he's being truthful with me. Definitely recommend him if you are looking for a great rheumatologist - they are difficult to come by.

I was 23 when I finally saw a rheumatologist after suffering from rapidly worsening joint pain for 5 years. By this time I was already walking with a cane, frustrated with how previous doctors had treated me, and at wit's end. I didn't get the normal crazy look from Dr Lazar that I had gotten used to because of my age and condition, which was very comforting. I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and began discussing treatment options at my first visit! Furthermore, upon getting denied coverage for his preferred treatment option by insurance, he kept fighting them until I was finally approved for the treatment. Two years later, I have a 1 year old daughter that I'm able to chase around the back yard and do all of the things that my disease had taken away from me. If that's not results, then I don't know what is. I now live 4 hours away and still make the drive a few times a year because it's worth it for the care that I have received.
