Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2021
Due to my symptoms, I was referred to OSU for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I would not recommend Dr. Lara if you are going in for a procedure due to his lack of bedside manner, blatant disinterest in my case, and rushed conversations with myself and my wife after the procedure. (This was also during covid when my wife wasn’t allowed in the building. His phone call to her was less than 3 minutes and did not allow time for questions. She works in healthcare and noted that she would never treat a patient like this.) My results were available to him (based on scan date into MyChart) as soon as 24 hours after my visit, yet it took approximately 16 phone calls and over 30 days to get results conveyed to my primary care physician. Overall, I feel that Dr. Lara was very uninterested in my care. I know the time/communication issue at OSU GI has not occurred for others I know (my wife included), so my suggestion would be to save yourself the headache and request a different doctor.
