Working with children of all ages, Dr. Jeffrey Lazarus has had a successful and thriving pediatric practice since 1981. Click here for Dr. Lazarus' curriculum vitae.

Dr. Lazarus enjoys guiding children and parents toward becoming confident and self-reliant with regard to health. Families appreciate his thoroughness, compassion, and warm sense of humor.

Dr. Lazarus became interested in clinical hypnosis as a patient himself. After trying traditional therapies for plantar warts without success, Dr. Lazarus recalled that one of his five-year-old patients had rid himself of hundreds of warts with biofeedback/self-hypnosis.

So he called Dr. Karen Olness, Professor of Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and co-author of the premier book in the field of pediatric hypnotherapy, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy with Children, co-authored with Daniel P. Kohen, M.D., Professor, Departments of Pediatrics, Family Practice, & Community Health at the University of Minnesota .

Dr. Olness taught him the technique of self-hypnosis, and within three weeks, his own warts disappeared- never to return.

Dr. Lazarus has applied Dr. Olness' work to teach hundreds of children this remarkable technique. He uses clinical hypnosis to treat conditions such as warts, migraine headaches, bedwetting, Tourette Syndrome, pain, tics, habits, phobias, insomnia, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and test anxiety, as well as for sports performance enhancement, weight loss, and prevention of nausea and vomiting for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Clinical hypnosis is now an integral part of Dr. Lazarus' pediatric practice. As one of only 13 pediatricians in the United States to be certified by The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, he has developed his own specialized methods for treating specific childhood health concerns such as primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), migraines, and Tourette Syndrome. He lectures all over the country on the topic of clinical hypnosis.
