Dr. Lauer is a very excellent Dr. He explains everything to me so that I understand . I wish I would have listened to him and done the surgery now. I choose the eight month period. Things are ok. I could not ask for a better doctor or would I ask for a second opinion. That is how much I trust him. Pray when I do go to Cleveland main that he will be by my side with Dr. Young.
