Dr. Laufer, Andrew, and the sweet medical assistant (sorry, I forgot her name), were outstanding, and very helpful. They took the time to listen to me, guide me, and were extremely professional!! I highly recommend Dr. Laufer and Andrew, and the entire team.
Did not have to wait more than 5 minutes from my scheduled appointment time, before I was taken to an exam room.

I saw his PA and she was very knowledgeable and helpful, I had a question she was able to answer when a few Dr's before her either couldn't or just didn't care.
