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.

I went to Dr. Lafferty for a tubal ligation consult since I don't want to have children. At the time, I was 24. He answered questions I had and took the time to hear me out and understood my reasonings for not wanting to have children. He didn't say "oh you'll change your mind" or "women your age usually regret tubal ligations". He allowed me to retain control of my body and followed through on what I requested. It's been almost three years and I regret NOTHING! I will recommend Dr. Lafferty to any person who seeks sterilization. I truly appreciate him. Thank you Doctor!!

Horrible experience. No compassion and did not answer my questions. Spent seven minutes with me and told me to terminate my pregnancy Due to the prescription medicine I was taking or come back at a later time. Left me in a panic. Also said that he was giving me the option to go to planned parenthood unlike trump would.

Dr. Lafferty is extremely knowledgable and caring. We had a difficult situation in which our baby was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Dr. Lafferty helped provide us with great information in a stressful situation. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Lafferty spends more time with me than any other GYN I've seen in the last 40 years! He's caring and extremely thorough. He treats the whole person, not just my GYN issues. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

He presented as very arrogant, dismissive, and did not take the time to listen or read my chart. He appears to be more concerned with what he perceives as positive outcomes without considering outlying issues. The only reason I followed thru with him is that the wait time to get an appt with someone else was way too long. I will never go to him again.
