My husband went to Dr. LaPrad with a long-time chronic eye problem (glaucoma) and she made him (for the first time) immensely better. It was pretty much a miracle to us. TY, Dr. LaPrad!

I'm not a good patient, but I actually enjoy going to the eye doctor with Dr. LaPrad and I certainly need to for my vision problems. You can't go wrong with her. Really excellent.

My family has gone to Eye Associates of the South for many years. Dr. LaPrad has treated a few family members, always with excellent results. We are thrilled with her work and knowledge. Most highly recommend!

My father goes to Dr. LaPrad because he has glaucoma and needed an eyelid lift because, as he got old, his heavy eyelids started blocking his vision. She has been just stellar through both the glaucoma treatment and the surgery. He gets real help and real relief from Dr. LaPrad and I know he's much better off, thanks to her!

Some of my family members recently went to Dr. LaPrad and gave her glowing reports. She's so knowledgeable and cares and gets great results! We'll be happy to see her again and again. Highly recommend.

I've been in search of a solid, perceptive, experienced ophthalmologist for my family for years. We found one in Dr. LaPrad. She has given my family super care and it's even a pleasure to go there. Thank you!

My husband went to Eye Associates of the South for some major eye problem they corrected (which nobody else could!) So, when I hit my 40s, I got my comprehensive eye exam and new reading glasses (with astigmatism) from Dr. LaPrad, who is not only an excellent ophthalmologist, but a pleasure to visit. She clearly is among all those top flight doctors here!
