Dr. Lawrence Jay Handler, MD

I've been seeing Dr Handler for ok very a year. He has been very proactive at getting me off some very strong meds. He spends plenty of time with me and genuinely cares. I highly recommend Dr Handler

I was seeing him for a few years and he kept telling me to come see him every 4 to 5 months. He kept tell me I was also backed up in plain English I was constipated. He kept tell me all kinds of beans in and plant protein. I shared with my friend who also was seeing him everything that he said to me at the visit. He told me everything that Dr. handler said to me he was saying same thing to him. I had have to talk with my friend a lot of doubts so I decided to talk to my MD about him. He told me after I shared everything that was going on that I will not need another colonoscopy for another 2 1/2 years. I really believe this guy is only interested in money only and nothing else. I think he’s an incompetent quack. Thanks to this idiot my blood sugar was a little high and now I have to straighten it out. I was getting diarrhea every week to throw his stupid advice. I was talking to my friend about it and I decide to go back to my normal routine I want to eat. My MD said to me when you… need a gastrologist I will tell you. I will send you to somebody that I know. I really think insurance company should investigate this guy. I canceled my appointment with him and I also said I’m going to another doctor.

I was going to him for you a few years. He kept telling me I was backed up and I was constipated. He told me to eat a lot of beans and plant protein. He would have me see him every 4 to 5 months. Well I found out a good friend of mine was seeing him. I shared with him what the doctor was telling me I how I was backed up. He said he was getting the same identical words that I was getting. He would tell me to come back every 4 to 5 months to see him. I ended up changing my diet due to him and not thinking am I sugar up was high. Just saw my MD and I shared with him with everything he was saying to me and my friend he said you don’t need a gastrologist for another 2 1/2 years. I told him everything that he had said to me. He said I’m your doctor and I will take care of you. When the time is right you do need one I will send you the one that I know. This guy is only looking for money on the insurance companies. I’m planning on going to my insurance company on Monday and let them know what… I experience with him. I canceled my appointments with him.

I see Dr Handler every few years, and he is always professional and takes time to discuss my medical situation in detail. I have always recommended him to others without hesitation.

This man cares so much and he is so thorough and reassuring. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Went to him three times, did not give me a correct diagnosis and told me I needed to be patient after waiting to scheduled for a test that I desperately needed. I was patient for too long. Ended up in the emergency room to be admitted to have gallbladder removed. Could have been ended up a lot worse had I not landed in the ER. I'm totally disappointed. I totally lost my faith and trust in him after all that time of always getting great care from him for over 20 years. I thought he would reach out to me after to find out how I was, but nothing.

This doctor,s failure to diagnose my serious condition could have caused my death. Fortunately I has a crisis which caused hospitalization and other doctors have taken over my care. Under no circumstance would i visit this man again.

he cares about your everyday life and wants to know about outside stresses that may be hindering your health-at my request which he never hesitated -he did another test and found cancer cells that eventually would have lead to colon cancer because of his strong belief in early detection it was caught early.

3+ hour wait for colonoscopy. i complained to hospital staff, they said it happens all the time with him. when he did show up i told him what i thought about his practice and left.

He us not well versed in the treatment of crohns.
