I feel super comfortable with her and the office staff is very polite and have worked with me to rearrange appointments or squeeze me in if I had an unexpected issue. I have recommended her to friends and neighbors who have all shared good reviews and become her patients as well.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Laura is truly amazing! I was recommended by a friend to see her when I was pregnant and suffering with really bad migraines and joint pain. I was afraid and skeptical at first that seeing her would cause me for harm than good. From the first time I met her, she provided a sense of calming and reassurance that she could help my quality of life. I am so thankful that my path crossed Dr. Laura. She truly helped minimized the amount and severity of migraines during and after my pregnancy. Seeing Dr. Laura weekly or bi-weekly became part of my life routine. I felt the benefits so much, that she began seeing my husband who at the time was 3 years post major back surgery, my 11 year old son and my new born son. She helped my new born son thru many miles stones, helped alleviate gas pain, reduced spitting up, and he just naturally became a less fussy baby. I couldn’t believe the improvement in his mood after a few visits. My family & I moved in away in August, but I think of Dr. Laura often. I miss her dearly because not only did she provide a service she also cares about her patients. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Laura.
