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.

She is so so awesome. Her boss well that s a different story.

So far I have seen Dr. Lavelle twice and so far I really love her. She is so attentive and caring. She also knows her stuff! I haven’t been to a doctor like her in years. I really hope to continue having such a good rapport with her. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Lavelle took time and listened to my symptoms, giving me the correct diagnosis that I needed. She helped come up with a plan that worked for me to treat my illness, even though I was terrified of the diagnosis. I'm still new to this, but she treats me as I should be treated. I am the one who has to live with this and the treatment. She includes me in the decisions, which as an RN, I can tell you, not many doctors do. While you may wait a while, she gives you all of the time you need with her

Good doctor, friendly...bad with time management. Waited 2 hours for her at my last appointment. I have called several times for test results that I needed I'm still waiting a month later. She did find a correct diagnosis when others failed. The frustration is with wait times and not following up.
