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.

So grateful for Dr.LaRonga's warmth, expertise and willingness to hear my concerns. She has been generous with her time, and answered my questions thoroughly and with care. I have felt seen as an individual, respected and in good hands. Issues requiring follow-through with another provider were handled promptly and efficiently. When so many parts of the treatment process are beyond one's locus of control, It becomes very valuable to work with people who are willing to offer partnerships in the decision-making. Dr. LaRonga sets the gold standard for my care at Moffitt.

Dr. Laronga is amazing! I'm so happy to have her as my oncologist. She took the time to explain exactly with my current diagnosis is & every possible outcome post surgery. My husband joined the meeting from work & she included him after answering my questions. She immediately asked what questions did he have and made a point to answer them before our call ended. I have complete faith in Dr. Laronga and know I'm in great hands.

No one wants to have breast cancer, but I searched state wide for the best. I drove 4 hours from Ft Lauderdale for my surgery, and follow up visits. Dr Laronga was in command from moment one - she was detailed in her descriptions of my pre and post surgery, superbly caring (my husband was so impressed), confident in herself and team. I went into surgery happy to be in her hands. I cannot say enough about how good this doctor is.

She is the most amazing doctor! I had stayed so positive when i was diagnosed with breast cancer because she was so through and was so convindent about how we were going to attack this cancer. I had no doubt i was in the best hands. She was worth driving 2 hours away to see. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for me and my family!

I am a two-time breast cancer survivor. Dr Laronga has great knowledge, wonderful bed side manner, and gives you the options and respects your decision. I would highly recommend her. She truly cares about her patients. Great staff/support team.
