I am willing to bet that if you were looking for a dermatologist with a great reputation and asked…read morearound the Cuyahoga or Lorain County areas, you would have at least one person mention the name of Dr. Irene Lakak. I have been a patient of Dr. Lalak for quite a few years and have been 100% pleased with her services. One thing that many doctors lack is personality and a good bedside manner. Dr. Lalak has a great demeanor and treats her patients like family. She is a super knowledgeable and I am confident in her ability to treat my skin. In addition to battling psoriasis I also have a predisposition to getting skin cancer because of my family history. She has a good handle on my medical needs and I have always been pleased with how she has treated my "issues." I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Lalak and am glad that I am one of her patients. She is very difficult to get an appointment with so if you need a dermatologist then I would call her office as soon as possible. Expect to wait upwards to 6-9 months to establish yourself as a patient of hers with a consult. That said, she is worth the wait!!!

Dr. Lalak is the BEST physician in Cleveland. She is brilliant, caring, and spends a lot of time…read morewith me. I have been going to her for years, and know a few other people that go to her too. There is no one I trust more than Dr Lalak, and feel so fortunate to be one of her patients!

She was efficient thorough and did exams, tuning fork checks for nerve damage, debrided all nails, decent foot massage, foot strength in all directions and much more. His resident did most of the work and was just ok. Told her what I was used to and seemed a tad put out but she did do a thing or two more. Nathan was nice friendly knowledgeable and advised me well when I asked about shoe inserts, arch supports etc. visit was good but if I had to compare I didn't feel the same duty of care this time here.

My review was taken down. I have just spent five months of suffering because Dr. Greer performed a…read moresimple surgery on the bottom of my foot and the incision opened. Surgery was July 24th and she did not send me to the wound clinic until September 10th when it was not healing from the inside. Her follow up was very poor. She had me packing the wound that never should have been myself. The wound clinic were wonderful and I went 3 times a week but it was two late. November 10th I was admitted into the hospital from the wound clinic. She never saw me after she sent me to the clinic and she works there one day a week. I was diagnosed with Mersa and was put in rehab with a pic line for antibiotics but it was not a sure thing. She wanted to amputate my whole big toe. Thank God I got a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon who made me a priority. She said it would be out patient surgery and I would go home with no antibiotics because the infection would be gone with the toe. Not true! I had to go back to rehab and had a splint non weight bearing for 2 weeks followed by a heal bearing cast. I was in rehab all through the holidays! He extended my antibiotics! The incision was clean and healed quickly and now I am still on a walker until a thoroughly heal. My friend was told by Dr. Greer that she needed surgery with a non weight bearing cast for 6 to 8 weeks. She went to my surgeon for a 2nd opinion and it was a simple procedure and she was able to put weight on it the next day. Be aware and get a second opinion always! I would NEVER recommend Dr. Greer for anything complex. I shudder to think of what would have happened if I had her amputate my toe which was only partially removed! Those 5 months I will never get back and I suffered immensely!!!! I hope that they don't remove this review again!!!! Dr. Greer never even talked to me directly in the recovery room. Dr. Rascoe my surgeon came to check on me 4 times! To this day I have not heard from her inquiring how I am doing! Nurses in the wound center and my primary care physician reached out to me more than once showing they care! Kathy Robertson
