Dr Jose Lares is a BRILLIANT physician. He has saved my life many times. His diagnosis always on target even when an xray said i didnt have pneumonia (I actually had double pnemounia) - thankfully he sent me for a cat scan. I thank god for him.

Dr. Lares has been my physician for over 15 years; He convinced me to go to rehab in 2007. He maintains my health by calling me on my B.S. and even helped cure me of Hepatitis C. I’m always travelling, and his walk-in policy fits my schedule. Dr. Lares can take one good look at me, and 9 out of 10 times can predict what I have. I love that he offers in-office IV treatment and has enough clout, that can get you to see a specialist practically right away. HE knowns his medicine. Early this year he didn’t like the sound of my lungs; he diagnosed and treated aggressively. I am convinced that he prevented me from being intubated because of his lungs treatment.

An absolutely miserable human being. Sarcastic, nasty, and a liar to boot.

Tom at the front desk could not have been more unhelpful and just plain rude! I was shocked at how he treated me when checking in. I will never come back

He is a sarcastic person,If you don’t fit in his circle the treatment and attention is different from the others.I notice lies alot too and excessive treatment with iv antibiotics when there’s nothing to be treat ‘head ups’ and he is moody and multiple personalities.

What a horrible man. Nasty, sarcastic. I wish I had read the previous reviews. Something seems to be going on in his life. Whatever it is, I don't want to know.

I had been a patient of his for years, but recently his personal life and the office interpersonal drama seems to invade the space and distract the doctor. He is frequently late, barks orders at his staff, and things can be disconcertingly disorganized. I fear he is too distracted buy outside or other influences to be truly attentive and effective as a physician.
