Dr. Roger I Lane MD

"Dr. Lane can be a bit brusque. He was a doctor associated with the military. I worked for the research part of the U.S. Navy for a number of years. I rode subs, military aircraft and choppers. I know what it's like. I am an eighty one year old, his medical advise has improved my well being. I have a heartburn problem. He had me switch from Pepto Bismol, which acts on 5 symptoms, 4 of which I don't have, to Gaviscon ( over-the-counter) which is only for heartburn. The improvement has been significant. In addition he referred me to a gastroenterologist to make sure that I didn't have anything serious. The specialist was excellent. I only drink alcoholic beverages on weekends. I consider a weekend to start on Friday and end on Sunday. Dr. Lane brusquely advised me to cut my drinking from 3 days a week to 2 days. My weekend now starts on Saturday. My mental and physical acuity has definitely improved. I just drove 6700 miles (round trip) back east to my 60th college reunion with no problems! Dr. Lane is also a stickler for keeping up with your vaccinations. The only complaint I have , is related to his staff. Dr. Lane is a BMI (Body Mass Index) advocate. I am on the borderline so I feel my weight should be measured without wallet, watch, shoes, and cell phone - probably in my undies. Also my height is 4 inches less than it was 20 years ago because my back is bent and my knees don't straighten out. Therefore I don't think their number calculated for me is accurate. NEW I have had my yearly Wellness Exam with Dr. Lane two weeks ago. It was the most thorough exam of this type that I ever had. Most G.P.s seem to be bored and unhappy to perform this exam and don't like reading the recipe of required questions!"

"Dr. Lane NAILED my LADA Diabetes T1.5 diagnosis, when so many other GPs would have missed it. Helped me get insulin within 24 hours and has always been helpful as my doctor the last 15 years or so."

"Lacks competence."

"Absolutely the worst experience I've ever encountered with a doctor! He doesn't listen to the patient, He's defensive, and he has no compassion!"
