John W. Lachman

Dr. Lachman was a saint.

I just had a total knee replacement.
In 1973, Dr. Lachman removed my medial meniscus which had been severely torn in an accident although not found by other physicians. I remember his kindness and compassion to this 17 yr old whose widowed mom sought him out as the best surgeon to take care of me at Temple University. Well I made it, bone on bone till 2021. I’d say that’s pretty good and I thank Dr. Lachman for his brilliance to discover the real source of my inability to walk, get me...

Debbie Gower and Holly Streat are my sisters. Together my parents brought us all to see Dr. Lachman when we needed surgery as children. He performed 6 surgeries on me during my growth years. He was a kind man and very dear friend to our family. He also took over for Dr. Moore who was my fathers surgeon at the time and eventually took over his care. Over the decades he has treated all of us in one fashion or another. His presence will be sorely missed and he has forever touched our family. We...

Dr. Lachman was my orthopedic surgeon when I was a young girl at the age of 2. I don't recall him, but my father Richard Orner spoke highly of him & his skill as a wonderful surgeon. God bless you Dr. Lachman & thank you.

I first met Dr. Lachman at the age of 2. He performed my first round of surgeries. Dr.Lachman took care of my family starting with my Dad, Richard Orner, all the way through to my youngest sister. You are sadly missed by all whose lives you touched.

I have fond memories being welcomed at jack's house when Tina lived there during the college years. We had many dinners cooked by Gran. The door was always open. He was a wonderful brother, son and uncle. I'm sure he will be missed by all.
