Going to be very honest, I was waiting for a 60 year old doctor to walk in and when I saw him I was surprised. We are really happy to have found him. He was very helpful.

You and the other doctor made a fairly unpleasant procedure not so bad. I really liked the explanation of what hemorrhoids are, I had only thought of them as pathology so it was very interesting to me. And then also taking the time to explain the procedure before and as you were doing it was helpful in limiting my nervousness, as was the third person in the room with her hand on my back, encouraging me to relax and breathe...a very effective team!

It was very pleasant and explained what to expect clearly.
Dr. LaBarba was extremely professional yet gave a sense of comfort. He knew my whole case study, which I was impressed by. He is also a very good listener.
