Dr. Lober was patient and kind as we navigated a very frightening situation. We're very thankful that he was the doctor. We were able to work with for this issue and would definitely recommend that other parents and their precious babies work with him also.

Dr. Lober was very professional, knowledgeable, very down to earth and got on our teenagers level, did a very thorough exam with him and spoke to him directly as a patient with the parents of the support and made sure he use words and terminology and analogies that were teenage appropriate and understandable by our son.

I've always thought that Dr. Lober was a very professional and very kind person. He has always treated me and my symptoms and just my health issues with nothing, but utter respect and has offered far more else than many other health professionals. He's been nothing but kind and amazing to my family.
