Dr. Laidlaw is fantastic! He listens, knows his stuff, and doesn't beat around the bush. He makes excellent recommendations and isn't "surgery happy." He gives all the options and provides solid advice. This is my second time with Dr. Laidlaw and I can't imagine going to anyone else for my orthopedic needs.

This doctor was excellent. We discussed the situation, and came to an agreement that satisfied both of us. This is extraordinary in my experience. He was thorough and explained everything very well.

The individual who wrote the comment header "Right Wing Transphobe" likely meant to post under Dr Michael K Laidlaw given that individual's published work on the matter and NOT Dr Michael S Laidlaw

Don't take your child to this bigot. His medicine is guided by religion. End of story.
