Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2021
I love Laurie, she actually cares and listens to my concerns. She is open to my suggestions and willing to try other non typical routes. She makes the time and has a over all great personality. I think any bad reviews people are being quick to judge. Doctors do not have an easy job right now!
