How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Pictures
Pictures as promised. Apparently to post an update I have to have a minimum of 200 words. I just was updating with pictures, as promised. So here are my 200 words so you all can see the picture proof of how amazing and effective the laser treatment with a LANAP laser was! This procedure was done by a dentist (Dr. James Lewis)
MIRACLE Cold Sore Treatment--I'M SERIOUS!
Anyone who has ever had a cold sore knows the embarrassment that comes with it. If you are anything like me, then the onset of a cold sore means the stopping of your life! I have had two cold sores in my life and spent the entire recovery time hiding in my house, laying in bed, and crying. I literally could not function with a cold sore. I couldn't face the world...
I woke up on Tuesday morning and the spot where I have had a cold sore of the previous two times was very red. I put makeup on and went on with my morning... By noon it was evident a cold sore was forming. I had done research the last two times I had a cold sore and discovered a dentist in my area who does a laser cold sore treatment. This dentist was dr. James C. Lewis.
I immediately called dr. Lewis's office. I am not a previous patient of his. This was my first time ever contacting his office. He was able to fit me in within 90 minutes of my phone call! Dr. Lewis gave me a treatment with a special laser machine that they use for what he said was called a LANAP procedure. The treatment did not hurt at all! It actually felt good. It was just a warm feeling, absolutely no pain! But that isn't even the best part...the best part is, when I woke up on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after it was festering into what was going to be 2-3 weeks of hell and depression for me, the spot where the sore was developing is virtually gone! I got absolutely no blisters, no pus, no scabbing... Just redness! I'm telling you, I literally could not believe it! I know that you have probably searched for every way to prevent or diminish the appearance of cold sores...this is the answer! It did not diminish the look of a cold sore, it PREVENTED the cold sore from fully developing! And the discoloration that I have is absolutely coverable my makeup! There is no swelling, no inflammation, no pain, no flaking! If a cold sore effects you like it did me, this is the most amazing thing ever!!
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't cheap... But for what it did, it was not expensive! I literally got back weeks of my life! I paid a total of $350...again, not cheap, but to not have a cold sore, I would have paid $1,000!!!
to clarify, dr. Lewis told me there are several places that offer laser cold sore treatments, but they are not all the same technology. He said the key is to find a dentist who is certified and performs LANAP procedures. It is specifically the LANAP laser that is used for this treatment... Not all lasers are created equal, although he did say all laser cold sore treatments help to improve the healing of a cold sore...it is the LANAP laser that is the BEST!
I don't know why people don't know about this, but I want to share this information with his many people as I can! If you live in the Tampa area then it is worth the visit to dr. James C Lewis in New Port Richey (at the border of Trinity and New Port Richey)
The key is, you need to get into the doctor's office for this treatment at the first sign of onset! The procedure has to be performed before there is been any oozing or rupturing of the cold sore! I swear to you, you are going to wonder why every doctor does not offer this! It is a freaking miracle treatment!!!
Today is Wednesday, 11/28/18. I had the procedure performed on Tuesday, 11/27/18. I will post pictures of the entire healing chain in another day or two when it's completely gone so you can see every phase.
I wish everyone the best! Please share this information with people because cold sores are debilitating for many! But we have the technology now to stop them before they interrupt our well being!!
