Dr German Laufer is by far the worst doctor I have ever met. He is only concerned with his fees. He could care less about his poor bed side manner and lack of compassion for the patient. He shouldn't be a doctor if he doesn't want to help sick people.

Dr.Laufer is an exceptional physician. He quickly diagnozed my problem and prescribed the medication that made me feel better right away. He was able to answer my questions and quickly returned my phone calls, even during the off hours. I highly recommend Dr.Laufer!

Dr. Laufer treated me after the surgery for depression and anxiety attacks. He was very attentive and compassionate and answered all my questions. He didn't rush me up out of the office and I felt comfortable and content after the visit. He is a great doctor.
