Jeffrey E Lazarus, MD

Our daughter went in to see Dr. Lazarus after four months of a stomach ache that could not be figured out by the pediatrician, GI specialist and many others. She had been to see medical personnel at least 12 times during that period and they were all stumped. Finally our pediatrician recommended seeing Dr. Lazarus because he could help with tics and other recurring problems that couldn’t be explained medically.
Our daughter had no anxieties about school, her social life, sports or anything. So, we didn’t know what could help.
She saw Dr. Lazarus a handful of times and her tummy pains have been completely alleviated. It is such a relief to have her healthy and happy again! It really was a great experience because it was a compressed time period, with longer appointments meant to expedite healing… and it worked!

Dr. Lazarus has made a dramatic difference for someone who had debilitating headaches — making her pain-​free after just one visit when even a neurologist and strong prescription medicines couldn’t make her better. I recommend him highly. Yes, it’s expensive, yes, maybe it’s a trip across a bridge, but it’s worth it for a cure.

In 2009, Dr Lazarus helped our 15 year old daughter with migraines. She took a soccer ball to the face and suffered a spinal fluid leak. (CSF leak). She had brain surgery for the leak but continued with the headaches. Dr Lazarus was the only doctor that had a solution! To this day, 6 years later, I don’t know what exactly the two of them talked about… she still wont tell me! But it worked! I thank him constantly in my prayers for his knowledge and gift of teaching her how to heal herself. She applies those hypnosis tools to other areas of her life today. I am grateful for knowing Dr Lazarus and having had the opportunity to work with this awesome man. I wonder where her life would be if we had not had him cross our path. Expensive? yes! however when it works… priceless!

Dr. Lazarus specializes in treating children/​adolescents, but sees some adult patients. I’m one of those adults. I was referred to him by a psychologist friend who suggested Dr. Lazarus might be able to teach me self-​hypnosis to help me with my chronic migraines.
At the time I began seeing Dr. Lazarus (January 2014), I was taking migraine medication that provided some relief, but not enough — I was still suffering a lot. Working wth Dr. Lazarus to learn self-​hypnosis techniques has really improved my quality of life. In 5 sessions I was able to learn and practice the techniques enough to master them for effective use. I take a lot less medication than I used to, and overall my migraines are under much better control. I used to get week-​long «clusters» of migraines about once a month, and in the last 18 months it’s only happened three times.
I’m so grateful my friend recommend Dr. Lazarus to me — I look back and I can’t believe how much I was suffering compared to today. I think he’s a great doctor and a great person, and I would absolutely recommended him to others to treat adults or children.

Dr. Lazurus was suggested to us by Doctor McKracken for our adolescent son’s abdominal issues after all medical tests came back negative. We were desperate enough to try anything. Dr. Lazurus began by interviewing us about our son, yawning his way through the $ 720 interview. He asked permission to video tape his sessions with my son for his own use, which we refused thinking it would make our son more self conscious during the sessions. He persisted in wanting to tape the sessions, asking my son’s permission and being very pushy. After three sessions, as my son was not susceptible to hypnosis, Dr. Lazurus announced that he would be using a self help guide to cognitive behavioral therapy written by a friend of his (I am not making this up). At this point, we had paid out over $ 2100, which I would not have begrudged if we had been receiving professional and constructive help. My son was not supposed to talk to us about the sessions, but expressed that he would prefer to stop and did not see how they could be useful to him. I think Dr. Lazurus is unscrupulously preying upon desperate parents who are willing to do anything to help their children.
