Lapp L Dale, MD

Disappointed may not be be strong enough word to describe my feelings. I saw Dr. Lapp only twice and both times I had to wait over an hour to be seen. The second time, Dr. Lapp did not even show up and after waiting over an hour, I left his office crying. My family and I were super excited to see our little one that day. I understand medical emergencies and so on, but when the doctor did not show up for the appointment and there is not even a simple «I am sorry,» that is pretty poor excuse of a doctor.

Hi. We just started to use Dr. Lapp and the Office he works out of as our old OB/​GYN we had to stop using. We called yesterday to make an appt. for ⁷⁄₁₀ for a new pregnancy check for my daughter. They were first of all very nice in that call. Yes you have to go through a little automation but just push the number for the front desk and you’ll be fine. Second of all today my daughter had a miscarriage and Dr. Lapps office were AMAZING from front to back. Front office yanked her out of the ER to come over to their place and Dr. Lapp made her feel so much better and the back office nurse was so kind, crying along with my daughter. We love them so far. I will update when she gets pregnant again to explain more but as of this writing we think very highly of this staff and this Doctor and their reaction to our emergency, a very sad one at that. Thank you Dr. Lapp and Staff. You deserve 10 stars for today. PLEASE NOTE: Phone numbers online are incorrect (in any location you find) It is actually 619−299−3111. Please do not go by his associates reviews go by his! :) He is great as are his staff.

Dr. Lapp is just awesome! He makes me feel comfortable and answered all my questions in details. He sometimes explain things to me like my A&P professor lol.
His office is a little old and doesn’t have all the latest medical stuff. He is very old-​school but that’s why I prefer him than other OBGYNs.
What I like the most is that I get to see him and talk to him in every visit. He also didn’t mind that my toddler, who is very hyper, runs around the room when he’s examining me. If anything, he encourages him to play more and make a conversation with him too.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lapp for about 5 years and can honestly say he is the best OBGYN I’ve come across. He takes time to answer any and all questions no matter how small and takes time to explain things. The wait in his office can sometimes be a bit long but, it comes down to the fact he really is just giving each patient individualized attention. I ran into a serious complication and Dr. Lapp was available at all hours and willing to make any accommodations around my schedule. I would highly recommend Dr.Lapp.

I was referred to Dr. Lapp by my sister in law. I thank Dr. Lapp for my son’s life. he is 1 ½ now. He was born after 18 hrs of labor and an emergency c-​section. I was never scared in Dr. Lapp’s hands. I still see him as my OBGYN. Everybody who’s works there has worked there forever, as is just as caring and kind as he is. I would recommend him to 101%. Consider your self special if you get to have him as your doctor.

Dr. Lapp was recommended by my Internist… he is her Gynecologist. I’m in my mid 50’s and have seen plenty of OB/​Gyn doctors… Dr. Lapp is the most caring, open and willing to entertain all questions and options. He does not run a high tech office like many of the newer physicians, but he has great patient skills, years of expertise, and is current in today’s options… great find… hope he stays in practice for a long, long time… The phone # here is not current. his new # is 619−297−4901

I am newly pregnant and did my research, I choose Dr. Lapp and boy am I thrilled with my decision so far. Such a nice man, takes the time to explain everything, never makes you feel rushed. Truly a golden find! I am so relieved and happy to have found him. His office is convenient and you do not have to pay for parking either.

Dr. Lapp delivered my baby last Saturday ⁴⁄₁₃ when my primary OB, Dr. Riley, was out of town.
I love Dr. Riley, and this was actually the first time I had met Dr. Lapp («Nice to meet you — my baby is crowning»), but I think he did a great job. He had a nice bedside manner and good sense of humor — very important at «game time» when you deliver your baby.
I can’t speak to the many appointments prior to delivery, but can highly recommend his skills and follow up around the actual delivery.

Dr. Lapp is awesome! He delivered my daughter and has been my gyno for nearly 16 years. He is just perfect!
It’s so awkward… well, you know… and he always takes time to talk with you, answer any questions, and is kind and gentle. He really cares about his patients and was so calming when my daughter came prematurely. He is extremely knowledgable but not the least condescending. I’m so glad that he’s my doctor!

Today was my first visit with Dr. Dale Lapp. I had no idea what to expect, but now I understand all the rave reviews. He has more reviews on other websites.
I was really upset at first because I had to wait an HOUR AND A HALF for my appointment!!! I was there all day. Turns out the staff said he’s slow, takes his time, but they also had some kind of mix up in the office.
Once I met with him, I liked him right away. He’s the very first gynecologist that has taken his time and didn’t rush the exam or me out of the office. He sat there and listened to all of my concerns. He explained things very thoroughly. The actual pap smear and exam was very professional and not awkward at all. I’m not nervous to have a male doctor. I used to be when I was younger, but male doctors are obviously doctors so there’s nothing to feel weird about. I don’t mind seeing Dr. Lapp because he has many years of experience. I’m surprised he’s not retired yet. He was also very compassionate when he learned that I had a previous miscarriage. I will continue to see Dr. Lapp for sure.

Let me save you a very nasty experience with this advice — find another doctor. Dr. Lapp has shown no compassion as I was going through a miscarriage. The staff in his office is rude (no smiles, no politeness in this office) and incompetent. Mrs. Lapp, who handles finances, demanded my deductable before the procedure (DNC, because the baby died but was still inside of me) I paid it of course, what am I going to argue with the dr about deductible ($ 650) while I am in so much pain? Dr. Lapp was late for almost 2 hours for the procedure and without any apology. His office did not submit the bill to the insurance company so I ended up paying another $ 650 to the hospital who is entitled to the deductible since they submitted their bill per protocol. I called Dr. Lapp to explain at the end of February. I’ve had the run around ever since, Dr. Lapp doesn’t return my phone calls (he did not return my phone call for 5 hours when I called him for pain medication, I was in agony and I could not get anyone in his office to help me). it is now August, I still do not have the $ 650 that Dr. Lapp erroneously collected from me. My phone messages go unanswered, Jan tells me that Dr. Lapp will call me and he never does. I’ve been promised that the check will be placed in the mail tomorrow, but of course it is not there. Dr. Lapp has since then been paid by the insurance company as well and he still refuses to return my money. In my experience, Dr. Lapp is unethical and uncaring.
