Dr. Lohr is the very best anyone could have for a doctor. The patients with the poor comments are absolutely ridiculous. Your upset because she is particular and very efficient in every way. The support, compassion and her knowledge is outstanding. I feel blessed and honored I have her for my doctor. Dr. Lohr's staff helps in every way for a great support system. Everyone has been so gracious and kind. It is a wonderful feeling when you have confidence with Dr. Lohr and her staff. Thanks to Dr. Lohr and her staff!!! (((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))

If a stat order has been placed for a test or a procedure, it is the responsibility of the doctor to follow up in a timely manner. Stat means immediate action needs to be taken. The patient should not have to wait for results three days later.

Dr.Lohr was rude, egotistical, condescending, and uncompassionate. She introduced herself as a understanding surgeon, but talked about herself and her husband instead of answering my questions. She also violated my privacy twice. Worst experience ever with a medical "professional".

Unless lack of empathy and compassion are appealing to you, do yourself and/or your loved ones a favor and FIND A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!! I wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy. Also, doesn't respond in a timely manner, sometimes if at all, and is INCREDIBLY rude and condescending to the nursing staff at the hospital.

I have never in my life met such a condescending and patronizing doctor. She spoke to me like a child and was incredibly rude when I suggested I would be getting a second opinion.
