John Lasater's Online Review Report Card

My father is dead. He had been under the care of Dr. Lasater for many years for an enlarged prostate. When my Dad was 83 years old, he was the picture of health. During a routine exam, Dr. Lasater felt a nodule. He did not care enough about my father, his patient for YEARS, to insist on a biopsy...a simple in-office procedure that would have confirmed the nodule was an AGGRESSIVE FORM OF PROSTATE CANCER! Instead, Dr. Lasater insured my elderly parents that even if it was prostate cancer, my father would never die from it. A year later, still under the care of this doctor, my Dad began having double vision in one eye. His ophthalmologist quickly diagnosed a tumor was pressing on his retina. THE TUMOR WAS FROM PROSTATE CANCER! It had spread throughout Dad’s body, right under the nose of Dr. Lasater. After the office was told my Dad would not be returning, my parents received a letter from Dr. Lasater stating he would not change a thing and would have done the same for his own father.

My father is dead, thanks to this doctor. He had been under the care of Dr. Lasater for many years for an enlarged prostate. When my Dad was 83 years old, he was the picture of health.

THE TUMOR WAS FROM PROSTATE CANCER! It had spread throughout Dad’s body, right under the nose of Dr. Lasater. When the office was informed my Dad would not be returning, Dr. Lasater actually wrote my parents a letter stating he would not change a thing and would have done the same for his own father. My Dad found wonderful doctors who treated the cancer for almost two years, but succumbed to it earlier this year. PLEASE, if you have a loved one under the care of this doctor, question everything he does. Your loved one's life may be at risk. I miss my father very much. He would be alive today if his aggressive prostate cancer had been diagnosed early.

Very poor experience. They just care about what is in your pocket. Poor explanation and non-friendly environment. Will not go back again, even if he is the last doctor left in Virginia.

I highly recommend Dr. Lasater. This was my first time meeting him. I was a bit nervous going into this appointment. Dr.'s easy banter and humor put me completely at ease. He has a great personality. He was so thorough, explaining everything to me. He gave me treatment tips and explained it all in simple and easy to understand terms.

I had a kidney stone and he did a cystoscope procedure to remove it. I had a pelvic sling placed a couple of years before the kidney stone treatment. Dr. Lasater destroyed the entire sling. I was in pain from the damage he did for weeks after the kidney stone was removed. I was also passing blood from the damage. I had a second stone that was treated with lithotripsy. Before the procedure he came in to see me and started screaming at me because I was out of work for weeks. Do not ever use him!

Dr. Lasater may be knowledgeable,but is transferred to me as don't feel free to ask questions about what I just told you. He's not my doctor, but my husbands, who's 88, hard of hearing, and has cancer; it's important to me that I'm able to communicate with his dr. Last wk I sat with my husband the entire visit and towards the end of the visit, Dr. Lasater turned to me and said, And how are you. I had purposely waited to see if he would recognize my presence. His answering service is a joke.
