I visited Laura today and she was very caring and gave expert advice with my particular skin problems. My son has also visited her in the past and received treatment for a skin condition that was very successful. I cannot more highly recommend this practitioner.

Explanation

Laura is phenomenal and a gift to the medical field. She is warm and inviting, making you feel like you are her only patient when you are with her and has the familiarity as if you see her weekly instead of every 6 months in my case. She has a holistic approach to the care she provides, being extremely mindful of how the treatments she suggests will impact other areas of your life, is thorough and approachable with question and concerns.
