Patients appreciate

Dr. Jonathan Lauritsen consistently receives exceptional praise for his thorough, patient-centered approach to care. Patients repeatedly highlight that he takes significant time during appointments, never rushing them, and actively listens to their concerns. His communication skills are frequently commended—he explains complex medical information in understandable terms, provides detailed written instructions and educational materials, and ensures patients fully comprehend their conditions and treatment plans. Many reviews emphasize his extensive knowledge across multiple areas of health, his holistic approach that considers the whole person rather than just symptoms, and his preference for addressing root causes through lifestyle modifications, vitamins, and supplements before resorting to medications. His compassionate bedside manner, genuine care for patients, and ability to make them feel valued and heard are mentioned in nearly every review. Patients particularly appreciate that he reviews their complete medical history before appointments, asks thoughtful questions, and coordinates care across different specialties.

Patients also share

While the overwhelming majority of reviews are highly positive, a few patients expressed concerns. One patient felt Dr. Lauritsen was unprepared for their appointment, appeared not to have reviewed portal messages about important test results beforehand, and seemed condescending when initially downplaying cognitive concerns that later proved significant. Another patient felt uncomfortable during their visit, believing the doctor didn't listen well or explain things clearly, leaving them confused despite attempting to ask questions. One review mentioned that while the doctor was not very personable initially, the patient hoped this would improve with continued visits. A single patient noted some discomfort with the amount of medication changes proposed during a first visit with a six-month gap before the next follow-up appointment.
