Under no circumstances would I ever see Dr LaRosa again. He performed cataract surgery on me and it took four months to recover from the surgery. It was one of the most miserable experiences I’ve ever had. He simply does not listen to what you tell him!. Awful doctor!

Dr. Larosa is excellent. In 1982 I was misdiagnosed. After going to Johns Hopkins the proper treatment was given. I received Dr. Larosa’s name from Hopkins. I have seen numerous doctors regarding my glaucoma. He is without doubt the best. He deserves a 5.0.

Took forever for him to finally make my appointment time, was over 30 minutes late. This man has the worst attutide and acts like he's god but can't accomplish nothing. He was rude, arrogant and cold. I'm sorry he has a medical liscense, just not right!
