"Dr Langer has absolutely no bedside manners and when I mentioned I wanted a cesarean birth because I was worried of health concerns, she basically told me no and that I’m fine to have a vaginal birth."
— LocalityBiz review"He is disrespectful, rude, and makes people feel like they did something wrong. When delivering, he told the person in the room with me to 'not be a cheerleader.'"
— Vitals review for Dr. Jeffrey Cox"He's an experienced skilled surgeon but will not hesitate to refer to a specialist/peri when needed. I would recommend him to any friend needing a good general ob/gyn."
