He was recommended to me. I couldn’t be happier with my results. The doctor is very kind and fully explains everything to you. I was in such pain for a longtime. I recently had the plasma therapy for my knee. I feel like a new person.

Dr. Lanter is a great doctor! Although there's potential to have a long wait, he is worth the wait. He isn't like most doctors who rush you out of the room. He spends time with you and really explains what you have, and all your options. He lets you ask all the questions you want and has answers. Great doctor and a truly nice guy.

Dr. Lanter tries real hard to make a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. He cares a lot and he helped me.

The best thing that ever happen to me when I went to see Dr Robert Lanter . He is very caring and understanding in how I feel I go to him before I go to any other Docter . I thrust Dr Lanter with my life I know that he will go out of his way to help you with the way I feel .

His follow up is horrible. He doesn't return phone calls! He also doesn't fill out forms you might need. I believe the only way you can get action is make an appointment and pay. You can't get him to call back on a report either. I had a break and the MRI report was sitting on his desk for a week. I had to get the report from the lab and make an appointment to get an answer from him.

I have been seeing Dr Lanter for almost 3 years. After almost giving up on my CHRONIC pain I was referred to him by Dr Lipsky ( my Gastro) . He immediately understood my problem and offered a dynamic and well thought out plan that included life style changes as well as well thought out medications and I must say he has probably saved my life . He is a very kind and caring physician who makes it a point to see me 3-4 times a month to moniter my care , outstanding !
