Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr LaFaunce is extremely knowledgeable in her medical field. She explained each test result in simple terms and how I could adjust my lifestyle to improve my health. She thinks proactively to prevent future health issues. She encourages questions and has good answers. You will not leave her office with unanswered questions. She is thorough and properly reviews your chart before entering your exam room. I fully trust her and highly respect her opinion.

My husband and I love Dr. La Faunce. She listens to all of our concerns and is very caring Dr. I have been to 3 different Drs in LC and she is the only Dr that listen to my concerns. She doesn’t rush through the appointment and always follows up personally to make sure your doing ok.

I have seen Dr. La Faunce several times and in my many years of life, she is among the best doctors I have visited. She listens carefully to my concerns, has a sense of humor and thinks "outside the box" in offering solutions. I highly recommend her.

Listens to patients concerns and medical issues. Explains your options well. Is conservative in giving you treatment options.

This doctor talked down to me, made me uncomfortable, treated me like I was was/wanted to be a pill popper or drug addict, undermined me in front of my kids, and acted like any concern, complaint or question was ridiculous and made up. My husband and I both saw her many times to give things a fair shot and have both switched doctors. I don't recommend her to anyone.

She didn't listen to a word I said nor looked at evidence provided. She doesn't understand connections or allows medications to be used off-label for conditions though the FDA approves it. I saw her for one visit with insurance and I'm stuck with a large bill for an unnecessary test because of her bias. I refuse to see her again and the visit was a complete waste of my time and money.
