The front office member Gabrielle was such a warm welcoming person and offered me coffee or water . When I in fact met Dr. Laura she made me feel safe and secure and explained to me the procedure I wanted to do detail by detail. She took her time suggesting what was best for me and didn't see me just as another appointment she had. I would
      Rate this doctor 100% not only for her customer service but her knowledge .

I was so lucky to find Dr. Lara, and I felt comfortable for her even before meeting her just from watching her videos on YouTube. Dr. Lara is an amazing doctor. She is friendly and kind. I had liposuction with her and I saw the result from the first day. I used to wear size 12 and I’m wearing size 6 now! I highly recommend Dr. Lara and I would fly again to California to meet with her again."

      "I recently moved from Miami, where I had the same ob/gyn since I was 16. Going to someone new was a little unnerving but from the moment I called the office to see if Dr. Lara was taking new patients to this past visit, my second so far, the whole office has been so welcoming and accommodating and quick to put me at ease. This past visit was my second and Dr. Lara took the time to go over test results with me and really listened to what birth control I was interested in and gave me several options. She definitely makes me feel involved in my own reproductive health, instead of just a patient waiting for the all-clear, which is more than I was even looking for. The desk staff is always welcoming and understanding. They never make me feel as though I'm just another appointment on the list. I can't say enough good things about this office and staff."

      "I was a stressed wreck as a first time mommy to be and nervous about everything but the min I arrived I immediately was welcomed like seeing old family friends . I was a smidge late but called ahead and though I still had my paperwork to be filled I was in within 15 min. The facility was professional but seemed too cozy to be label a doctors office it was very inviting. Dr. L was just as previous clients stated SHE REALLY DOES CARE!! I'm normally not a very big hugging person but it was right there with her introduction and my normal guard flew the coop I saw her instantly like a proud aunt who just met my other half and heard our good news. She was very polite and thorough from asking permission to examine all the way to helping with my gown and making sure I had no room for discomfort! BEST DOC EVER!! The little distance to drive is beyond worth it and I'm DEFINATELY recommending her to ALL mommies to be I know! - M.G. One happy camper !!"

Our average wait time is usually a lot quicker..but sometimes "babies" pop up :) We are working on a membership style practice for those who want just a bit more (same day appts, no wait, house visits) so stay tuned for more on that release.

      "The nurse was very friendly and took detailed notes of my concerns for the doctor. Dr. Lara simply AMAZES me! This woman is professional, friendly, far better-educated and experienced than any OB/GYN I've known in my lifetime. The most valuable thing Dr. Lara brings to the table is an in-depth knowledge of a woman's anatomy that she SHARES with YOU, as her patient. She invited me (if I was comfortable) to don a glove and learn MY OWN anatomy! She takes the time to engage with you and shares her personal experiences. I want to scream it from my balcony! 10-STARS to Dr. Lara! Seriously."

      "Dr. Lara is simply an Angel!! I am new to the area and had an emergency situation. NO ONE in the area would work me in, or for that matter even take my situation seriously. Feeling very lost, I made one last call to Dr. Lara's office and WOW was treated with the utmost of respect by her office staff and worked in the same day!

      Upon my arrival, I was extremely with the lovely and well cared for office. This always shows me that the doctors care about our impression and comfort. Dr. Lara's staff was kind, professional and understanding. I was being "worked" in, so I expected a bit of a wait...that was not the case. I was swiftly taken back to a bright, comfortable examination room -- where my wait for the doctor was extremely short.

      Dr. Lara's was in the exam room within minutes. To my pleasant surprise she was warm, caring and radiated positive confident energy. She spent a good amount of time explaining in detail to me what was going on. Dr. Lara had to preform a procedure in office -- to which she involved me in every aspect of the process.

      Throughout my entire visit I felt cared for and safe! Truly, I have NEVER encountered such a wonderful organization and amazing doctor. I found my permanent home and feel very blessed to have found Dr. Lara and her incredible staff.
