Absolutely phenomenal doctor, great bedside manner, cares about his patients and sees worth in everyone, is able to explain all options and clearly articulate what his recommendations are while listening to the family and being part of the child's team. He's also an amazingly talented surgeon who has crafted a beautiful face for my child.

Dr. Lance is extremely professional and thorough! I wish all doctor's treated their patients with such care. We took our daughter to him for possible breast reduction. He did a fantastic job with making her feel comfortable. He also asked very meaningful and insightful questions about her desire for the surgery. When our insurance company denied the surgery, he (and his staff) were terrific to talk with about our options. HIGHLY recommend!

I have been going to Dr.Samuel Lance for about 4 years so far. I wish I had been able to have him as my surgeon sooner. I had a cleft pallet when I was born and have had about 17 corrective surgeries. Lance has done the most recent ones. When I was 26 and searching for a new doctor to help correct some health and cosmetic problems from reversing of my cleft history, one of my past surgeons refered me to him. And I am so glad! He has done an outstanding job on perfecting and cleaning up the shape of my lip and nose and fixing my sleep apnea! He also just so sweet and personable. I highly recommend Dr. Lance. You will end happy you chose him.

Dr. Samuel Lance is a wonderful Rhinoplasty surgeon who always makes me feel that he really listens, really care, really know what he’s doing, and I trust him like no other doctor. He’s very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. He explained every little detail to me about the surgery. It has been 10 weeks and my nose is still changing daily and I already love the shape. I highly recommend him. I thank dr. Lance everyday in my heart because he changed my life for the better. Thank you for the wonderful care you have given and still providing.
