I have been seeing Dr. Lans for the past year. I can not think of a more intelligent and compassionate Dr. in any field. Its been a great experiance.
Sorry to be a bore ya’ll, but here it is…yet another 5-star review for Dr. Lans. I know, I know, based on the dozens of other reviews, it is old news already, but still, I gotta give credit where it is due -- Dr. Lans is absolutely one of the best doctors I have ever seen; he is knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and truly present for his patients. About half a year ago, I got some scary lab results that suggested I was at risk for an autoimmune disease. Searching for answers, and ways to preserve my health, I saw a GP, a traditional rheumatologist, a longevity specialist, and one of Manhattan’s most acclaimed functional medicine doctors. 15 minutes into a telehealth appointment with Dr. Lans and I knew my quest to find an advocate and guide were over. Dr. Lans really listened to me. He gave me constructive suggestions without being pushy. When I presented my thoughts and research on diet, drugs and lifestyle, he took a balanced perspective –open-mindedly helping me weigh the pros and cons of my options. Most critically, after countless visits with other docs that had left me feeling overwhelmed and confused, I left my first visit with Dr. Land feeling empowered in my health. As of my most recent visit, my labs are looking overall good and I feel great. Of course, I don’t know what the future will bring. But I sure do sleep a whole lot better knowing that whatever happens, I have a doctor like Dr. Lans in my corner. Thank you Dr Lans!
Dr Lans is indeed an amazing Doctor. On my first visit he was kind caring and patient. He answered all my questions and asked me questions about my problems and how we could fix them. He didn't rush through my visit and was very thorough. Dr. Lans is a rare find. He is a very warm and genuine Doctor. I would give him 10 starsif I could! I wish I could still see him as my Doctor but he no longer accepts my insurance. Dr. Lans is Wonderful, Amazing, Caring, and Intelligent! Just a Great Doctor indeed!
Dr. Lans is the most caring, kind, intelligent, and knowledgeable doctor I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I came to him after a few bad experiences with rheumatologists with not much bedside manner and with whom I felt dismissed. At my first visit, his warm demeanor put me at ease immediately. He proceeded to take a lot of time to get to know me and my history—which is basically unheard of in this day and age—and showed compassion for my health struggles and challenges. He then shared lots of in-depth research about my conditions and the available treatments, much of which I hadn’t heard before. Dr. Lans, unlike many doctors, stays up to date on emerging research as well as integrative treatments that complement traditional medical care, which means his patients have more options. He is not only a doctor, he is also an educator. He explains highly complex ideas in an understandable way. Another thing I appreciate is that he never pushes or forces any treatments—he only presents options, their consequences, and allows the patient to decide, while explaining that he fully supports you. I have never met a doctor who cares so much about his patients’ comfort level. Every visit, I leave feeling heard, optimistic, and armed with more knowledge and information. If I had to sum up Dr. Lans in one sentence, it would be this: He cares deeply for his patients and he is a wonderful human being. I am so grateful for his care!
Where do I begin about how amazing of a doctor Dr. Lans is? I went to see him after struggling with 7 years of chronic pain and 2 years of chronic symptoms. He was the first doctor to ever spend the time and truly listen to me, while actively continuing to determine what was causing my symptoms. Thanks to him I am finally on the right treatment and feeling better. I am eternally grateful for him as my doctor.
Dr David Lans is a compassionate, attentive physician that will work like a detective to figure out the best way to approach your care. His knowledge is broad, and he is continually adding to it. He explains thoroughly and follows through fully. His nurse Helena, and Susan in the front office, have been with him during the ten plus years I've been going to Dr Lans, and both are equally caring and make coming to the doctor as pleasant an experience as it can be! Susan is great at getting insurance approval for sometimes difficult to get approved medications. Sometimes there is a wait, but it’s because Dr Lans spends the time you need without ever feeling rushed, so plan ahead. You will also get his full attention, and the time and care you need.
I have been a patient of Dr. Lans for many years. He is extremely bright and on the cutting edge of modern medicine but practices with a gentle, old school method of care and compassion. He is genuinely concerned about me and will offer any new treatment, medication, methods or vitamins that he thinks may help me. His staff is welcoming and always helpful. He’s a very special doctor and I don’t know anyone else like him. I dread when he retires!!
I can not say enough about Dr. Lans and his amazing staff. I have never encountered a Physician so knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely interested in ensuring that my every question and concern were addressed. Dr. Lans spent well over an hour reviewing my test results and discussing options with me to optimize my wellness.
Dr. Lans met with me promptly at the appointed time, spent an hour with me, and was full of highly constructive suggestions and information. In addition, he applied his excellent knowledge of Hashimoto's to performing very thorough blood tests, evaluating my thyroid condition and recommending a change in my prescription which has been to my benefit. I am 100% confident in his ability to help me and in his genuine concern for his patients.
I'm an old patient of Dr. Lans. More than 25 years ago or so. I was gravely ill with Lupus at that time and within a year my Lupus was in remission, haven't seen it since. That was at the beginning of his career so I have no doubt know that he is the best in his field. Not only was he intelligent. but his dedication to his patients cannot go unrecognized. He went above and beyond every time. What a wonderful doctor, person and soul. I love him!
