Alexander Lakowsky, MD

I decided to find another doctor because he doesn’t seem to like his profession or he is bored to listen people complaints. I visited him twice and both visits were bad, I was telling my symptoms to him and seems that he didn’t hear a word, he just sent me to have a blood test, after that, he said that I was totally OK and I don’t have to worry about that. My last visit was the same story, I had a chest and lower back pain and he didn’t care about that, just typing on his computer while I was talking to him. He said that I’m OK, nothing to worry about. I’m still not feeling good, so, I have to find another one, the only good thing on that office is the nurse Alicia, she is very kind and seems to care about people more than the doctor.

If Unilocal had the option for zero stars, that’s what I would give Dr. Lakowsky! He has horrible bedside manner and comes off pretentious and arrogant! This was my second and last visit to this doctor. Dr. Lakowsky isn’t a good listener and doesn’t take the time to understand your concerns and problems. He doesn’t explain his views and has the look of «your wasting my time» as you’re sitting there telling him your symptoms.
His manners definitely rub off on his staff because they don’t have good bedside manner either! The office manager is hostile and rude. The times I’ve called for an appointment, I’ve been put on hold before I can even get a word in.
The only reason why I saw Dr. Lakowsky is because I was trying to see Dr. Batlin, who came highly recommended by my friend (they share the same office). Unfortunately for me, Dr. Batlin wasn’t around both times I needed an appointment.
If you want to feel belittled, go to Dr. Lakowsky. Otherwise, I highly advise you to seek care elsewhere.

I have seen Dr Lakowsky three times in a year. I have a chronic but stable illness. None of my previous doctors have been able to correctly diagnose or treat it. After meeting Dr Lakowsky I felt like I got a new lease on life. He responds quickly to emails and it is very easy to get in t see him at last minute and his office staff is simply great. I highly recommend him!

Horrible bedside manner. He came off very pretentious and did not listen to my complaints. I also heard him laughing at my situation to other nurses. I would definitely recommend going to someone else.

After relocating to the area I needed a new primary care physician. Being a medical professional and having rather high expectations of my future doctor I conducted a thorough research on my potential options and decided to give it a try to the private practice of Dr. Lakowsky.
Bingo !!! My hours of research paid off. It was a great experience. Dr. Lakowsky was very calm, knowledgeable, and instilled comfort. His bedside manners are great. I never felt rushed. He is excellent in listening and taking the time to understand your point, problem and concern. He will always take the time to explain his views such that a mutually acceptable approach and plan is developed.
His staff is also great. They treat you as a very valuable customer/​patient. Communicating with the office is easy. You are not put on hold when calling the office and if it happens it is a very short one. Scheduling an appointment is easy and the office was also great in accommodating my needs and schedule. Both Dr. Lakowsky and the front desk staff are excellent in following up, be so with test results or new appointments.
I have been a patient of Dr. Lakowsky for over three years now, which is a sufficient amount of time to identify problems if they are present. There care for the patient is genuine and professionalism is consistently excellent.
I highly recommend Dr. Lakowsky and his office to anyone seeking a great doctor that can take excellent care of their healthcare needs.

This was my first and last visit to this doctor. I had a feeling that I had meeting with the typist. Alexander asked me questions all the time typed
in the computer. I came to his office and waited for his professional help with my lungs, but he paid no attention to the fact that I complained to him. After my appointment I went to Walgreens next to his office and my blood pressure was 180/100(when I came to him blood pressure was ¹³⁰⁄₈₀.
After all he overcharged me.

Extremely prompt and considerate. Responds to emails immediately. Will fit in patients the same day that one calls his office. I had a health concern at 5 am. I emailed him at 5:30, and he replied a few minutes later, telling me to come in for an appointment at 8:30 a.m. Great doctor. Strongly recommended.

Dr. Lakowsky is a a great doctor. Had the best experience during my visits, he always followed up! The best part is — the staff is very courteous and professional (which is a luxury nowadays)! I’ve referred my friends and family as well and they all are happy with the MD and staff!

Wonderful doc, and great staff!

Found doc on insurance website. I was glad i was seen the same day, and i was still seen even though i was late, and there was no waiting time. I really liked the medical assistant, she was super warm, kind and cool. Definitely is an asset coz she really has a welcoming attitude. The doctor was straight to the point and seemed good at what he does, better than my kaiser permanente physician, who always seemed lost and crazed. Really clean and sterile office, and follow up through website is awesome and easy!!! So to sum it up. its convenient, accommodating, super fast feedback through email, and a no non-​sense doctor.

Have gone twice since my primary was not available. I felt like I was treated like an idiot. Office and staff wonderful like most of PAMF. Both times called for questions and help. First time he never returned a my call so I continued to take medicine I did to need to be taking (as it turns out). The second visit was after a high speed collision. His exam of me was not complete especially compared to the other passenger and the way she was checked at another doctor. Explained nothing of what I should expect and seemed to not take my knee pain seriously, and finally gave me little direction for after accident care. The next day I called because I could bear no weight on my leg. By the time he returned my call it was Friday after business hours and I was unable to get an X-​ray before the weekend. I have few reviews because I only write them when I feel passionately about something and want to show my appreciation for good service or I want to see poor service change.
He gets the second star for calling back.
