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.

Awesome doctor. Great bedside manner. Explained everything before we started, and during the procedure. He didn’t start until I said I was ready. Very glad I was lucky to be seen by him.

AMAZING DOCTOR
Dr. LaRochelle did an amazing job with my husbands dislocated patella. He was in so much pain and he took his time and didn't do anything until my husband was ready. He gave him the perfect amount of medicine to take the edge off before resetting his bones. Overall we had a great experience with Dr LaRochelle.

Not a good one, my dad, age 99, with dementia, was in ER, in terrible pain and thrashing his legs constantly. Dr came breezing in, said his lab tests were good, also said a bladder scan had been done...it hadn't. Upon demanding that one be done, a catheter was immediately placed and 950 CC's of urine came out. Dad's primary doctor (who I called personally) had him admitted, more blood work ordered and also discovered an under active thyroid.

I had a very good experience from Dr. LaRochelle , despite all of the negative reviews. Guess everyone has different opinions. I would definitely recommend him. He was dead on with my diagnosis and listened to all of my concerns.
