Very friendly doctor was honest and knowledgeable.

09/01/2025

Dr Lane went over and above to help me before I was to leave on vacation. Since I was leaving the following week, he looked at his next day surgery schedule and worked me in. I am so grateful of his caring!! I had some serious bleeding which he fixed!!

08/29/2025

I have been a patient of his for about 18 years and there is no one better. He has everything you want in a surgeon. He has a quick keen mind, great hands and a wonderful bedside manner. His calmness and confidence inspires comfort in the patient. And, to top it all off, he has always done everything he said he would do. If he tells you something you can take it to the bank. Dr Fred Lane is a great Doctor and a great person.
