This provider is horrible. Extremely condescending and rude. I’m failing to understand how someone with so many AWFUL reviews is able to keep her job here. She saw my vitals and jumped to assumptions instead of asking questions.

Dr. Lapesarde was attentive to my pregnancy and my gestational diabetes. She was really caring and always made me feel that myself and my baby were in good hands .

Is was my daughter’s doctor appointment it was a horrible, horrible experience . The doctor was extremely rude to my child who is a minor and trying to to speak to the doctor to tell her what was going on on with her body regarding her pain and the instructions her specialist gave her I’m not sure if she was having a bad day ready to go home but she made my day so uncomfortable I had to hang up. She would not even listen to what we were saying her other doctor told us to do. Children sho be treated with care leave ur personal issues at home. She is just a child seeking answers
