Many years ago, I had Cdiff and was referred to Dr. Lance who treated me-I was very young and didn't realize how serious this situation is, but felt that Dr. Lance saved my life.....I then had him do two colonoscopies over the years since I trust him so much.......recently I was in the ER for another serious matter and who walked in to perform a procedure but Dr. Lance! I knew then that I was in good hands. I will choose Dr. Lance for any surgery I ever need that is within his skill set! Excellent doctor!

Dr. Lance is renowned in this area. On any given day when he is in office, the influx of patients walking through the door testifies to this. And even though there are times when he has to 'play catch up' because he is sought after by so many, he refuses to shortchange them, making sure each patient feels that he/she is his primary concern. Ultimately, Dr. Lance manages a demanding schedule while still extending courtesy and compassion (how many other surgeons offer to pray with their patients?). If you set aside his bedside manner, Dr. Lance's precision-across the board-is unparalleled. It is that attention to detail that can make the difference between life and death; it certainly did for me.

Dr Lance has been my doctor for approximately 8 years now. He has wonderful bedside manner and is very knowledgeable. He has done 8-10 operations on me with 2 of them being major surgery. If it wasn't for him I truly do not believe that I would be alive today. I have met many surgeons in my career as a nurse and Dr Lance is the best I've met by far.
