Background

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.

Dr. Lazarus made contact with Karen Olness, M.D., 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.

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

Dr. Lazarus has studied intensively under some of the most renowned experts in the field of clinical hypnosis. He has applied the techniques he has learned to help hundreds of children overcome difficulties. He uses clinical hypnosis to treat a variety of conditions.

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.
