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 is great, Not able to get ahold of
The online portal and app are useless, unless you want to make a payment. You can't message or request a refill. When you call the office, you're not able to get ahold of anyone. The ph# on Google is trash. I love her as a doctor, everything about her as a doctor is amazing. I wish she was with another office that had better capabilities to communicate with her.

Dr. Lamaie is the ultimate caring, smart, compassionate, empathetic, knowledgeable, and easily acceptable primary care physician I have had the privilege to know as a patient over many years. I was referred to her by another physician for evaluation and treatment of years of restless leg syndrome symptoms. After assessing and evaluating my current treatment regimen (which wasn't working), she initiated a new approach to treat my symptoms. She started out with minimal dosing of new prescription medications and vitamin supplements to change to a new approach in solving my RLS symptoms. She re-evaluated me weekly to assess effectiveness of the new treatment regime. Based upon that, she made incremental adjustments and within 2 months her treatment plan essentially eliminated my RLS symptoms!

A special Doctor
Dr. LaMaie has been my doctor since 2018. In addition to sleep apnea she has been treating me for severe Restless Leg Syndrome. She is a most compassionate doctor and has tried very hard to help me over this time period. It appears that we have overcome the worst and are hopefully on a program that is giving me relief long term. I just want to say how much I appreciate Dr. LaMaie from the depths of my being.

Doctor Nagwa Lamaie is one of the most Caring and Empathetic Doctors I have ever visited. There was no time limit on my Appointment with her and she asked Questions, wrote Notes, and was Genuinely Concerned about my Chronic Sleep Issues. Doctor Lamaie recommended an over-night Sleep Study and my life has not been the same since that day. Her suggested CPAP Treatment along with many “Sleep Hygiene” recommendations have completely changed my life. I don’t wake up “tired” anymore or wake up multiple times during the night. Her Office Staff could not possibly be any Kinder, Understanding or Professional. I plan on continuing to seek her guidance and council as I slowly discontinue my use of sleeping medications such as Lunesta and Melatonin.

I have been seeing Dr. Lamaie for several years. Each visit is very educational. She listens carefully to my comments/concerns. Her solutions to my problems makes me feel that I am a partner in my own health issues. Some visits may entail more time and others entail a tweak or two. Both ways, I find Dr. Lamaie very patient and a great encourager. This is one doctor I always look forward to visiting. Her office staff is very efficient...done with a smile!

I was diagnosed with narcolepsy with cataplexy by Dr lamae, which really gave me my life back. Before meeting Dr lamae I visited many different specialist including neurologists that just could not explain my symptoms. With in our first visit she knew that I might be narcoleptic, something I've never thought of before. And after a few months she got me the right treatment, and everything improved rapidly. She's a very caring physician and I'd highly recommend her.

Dr. Lamaie is the best. I was a walking zombie before coming here. Now I have a full functioning life of my own thanks to Dr. Lamaie. I've never had a doctor that has cared as much as she has. Very patient. Always makes time to answer all questions. I highly recommend her to everyone. The whole office staff is always nice.

Dr. Lamaie is a wonderful gem of a doctor. She truly cares about her patients on a personal level and genuinely wants to help them. I am so blessed to have come across her. I suffer from narcolepsy and after many visits to many doctors, she was the first willing to actually test me for narcolepsy. My life will never be the same because of her.

Dr. Lamaie is a very conscientious, caring person. She spends whatever amount of time is needed to listen, describe medical conditions and answer questions in detail. She has the patient's best interests at heart and stresses the importance and benefits of the usage of C-PAP. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has sleep issues. I trust her knowledge and expertise in Sleep Medicine.

Dr Lamaie is excellent. I am completely satisfied with the care she is giving me. I cannot recommend her too highly! I recently gave her a superlative rating but in my comments I inadvertently left out the word “too” in the last sentence above. This unfortunately created confusion and altered the intent of my comment. I am very sorry and embarrassed that this omission occurred. I do sincerely apologize! Jimmy Gause

Dr. Lamaie is a very professional, excellent doctor. She is a warm and caring and takes the time necessary to listen to her patients so she can assess their needs as an individual. At times their is a wait period, but knowing her attentiveness to her patient's care makes any wait worthwhile. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
