Dr. Lauer was excellent and her “bedside” manner was terrific. Her assistant, Wendy, and her CNA, Donielle, were rockin’ it’s well!! I know I would request this team every time I need to come in! But, hold the shots, Dr. Maddy, because I can only blame Wendy for so long!!! 🤪

She seemed distracted and unsure of herself. Said she was pretty sure I had a cyst that could be drained & I asked for f it could be anything else and she said it was rare. She tried to pop it with a syringe and hit a nerve then said it was probably a neuroma. Now the nerve is inflamed and hurts worse than when I went in.

Feb-2024
Dr. Lauer seemed hurried and interested in ending my appointment as soon as possible. She kept saying that if I had questions I should call her nurse when I was sitting there in person with questions. She darted out saying she would bring back the nurse's card which I took to mean that she was bringing it back herself. I had more questions I wanted to ask. Then the nurse came in with the card and said Dr. Lauer had gone on to the next patient. I felt dismissed and uncared for. I will be looking for a new doctor.

Sep-2023
I have worked almost 2 years to get to this point of surgery, with the state of Mn and workers comp crap and to have this canceled at the end of my journey of getting this repaired is sickening. I have scheduled my life accordingly to get this done and now with a new doctor I pretty much need to start over once again! Widthstrom, (retirement), Lauer (no confidence in) and now going to Steiger. I am wore out with an injury that happened falling off a fire truck at an emergency scene helping others in a volunteer position! I almost started my resolution Sept 27th to my prognosis only to have that taken away again. Words can’t describe how upset I am!!!

She was professional and obviously competent. I did not appreciate the comment, "We are not saying you are faking, but we are not finding anything wrong". I understand not being able to determine the source of my pain, but the first part of the comment was embarrassing and insulting. Please find a different way communicate. Thank you
