My experience with Dr. Michael was wonderful. I was very emotional when my previous doctor, Dr. Richard Silto, told me that he would be retiring soon, but he reassured me by saying that Dr. Michael would continue taking care of me. He described him as a great doctor and a good friend of his. At first, I was unsure about seeing Dr. Michael, and I even changed my appointment twice because I wasn’t certain about switching doctors. However, when Dr. Michael walked into the room and greeted me so warmly, I immediately felt comfortable. During my asthma checkup, he was very friendly, professional, and caring. I am very happy with my experience with Dr. Michael Lafuente and truly appreciate the excellent care he provided.
The doctor was kind, patient, and took the time to really listen to our concerns without making us feel rushed. He explained everything clearly and made sure we understood the possible causes of my son’s hives. I also appreciated how thorough he was during the appointment and how he answered all of our questions with care and professionalism.
He is a very patient and takes the time to explain everything to me.
Wonderful and informative!!!
Dr. Lapuenta and his assistant were amazing today — calm, personable, great listeners and left us with a sense of what’s next. Thank you!
He was wonderful and I loved how he explained everything and made sure I understood why he was checking all that he wanted to check me for. I could tell he really cared.
Dr. Mike is the best. He listens, he explains things in an effective and understandable way, and he is genuinely concerned for my health. The entire team at Steele Creek are exceptional professionals. They have given me my life back.
Very thorough in both his examination and explanation of results. I was extremely pleased with my experience!
A great professional. I am very happy with his care—highly recommended.
Very thorough and kind. Listened intently and thoroughly explained diagnosis and treatment. Very glad to have been placed in his care.
