How likely are you to recommend Dr. Lazzaro?
He is simply the best in the country and the kindest doctor you’ll ever meet. My brother is special needs and kept ending up in the hospital every two weeks from a bad hiatal hernia problem. Dr. Lazzaro did the surgery and my brother recovered very quickly. He is thriving and has been healthy and happy ever since. What a miracle because no one else would help him. They said the surgery might not work but if he didn’t have it he would be put on a feeding tube and might not live very long. God was watching over my brother sending the best surgeon and I thank God every day for Dr. Lazzaro.
