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.

Again I think Dr Laporte is a great doctor but why he sent my prescriptions to my mail order pharmacy instead of the local CVS I don't understand. This has lead to a comedy of errors as its been 8 days and I still have neither medication and have had to call both your office and the pharmacy multiple times trying to get this resolved. As of this writing I am still playing phone tag with both entities. Huge waste of all our time.

Dr Laporte always goes thru any meds I'm on or that he is prescribing & tells me if there are any problems to be concerned with or if meds aren't working to the best of there ability to update him & we will do whatever we need to to make sure all goes as well as he & I would like it to, he is probably the best Doctor that I've felt with , with every illness or problems I have had, he is very supportive & knowledgeable about all my health issues

Dr was in a hurry. We like this doctor, but he seemed distracted . Exam was rushed and options blurted out. No real discussion. Not like our usual visits.

Professional and personable. Easy to talk to. Speaks in words that regular people understand, not in medical terms.

Awful! I stopped seeing Carey LaPorte a few years ago. I used to see the APRN in his office and she was fine. When she retired I had to start seeing him. I came in one day and heard him speaking to the new APRN outside the office door. She asked if he was going to come in to see me and he declined because he said there was a "weird vibe" in the room. He gives a off a pretty "weird vibe" himself. I will never go back to this guy. Very, very unprofessional!
What went well
  • Staff friendliness
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
