Dr. Anita P. Lasala, MD

I don’t understand the rude reviews! I had an amazing experience with Dr Lasala! I had a complication with my second pregnancy and wanted a second opinion moving forward so I sent my paperwork to Dr Lasala and made a consultation appointment with was going to cost me 750-1000 dollars out of pocket after Dr Lasala went through my piles and piles of medical records the office called me and said Dr Lasala agrees with your old MFM Dr and doesn’t feel comfortable taking money from you because she feels that you did the right course of action and treatment and doesn’t have anything else to add. She didn’t accept a dollar! She did the work entirely to help me! If that’s not selfless I don’t know what is! Since then I’ve been at her practice and I’m very happy. The nurses, secretary and Dr are all nice and treated me like with the upmost respect. I’ve bothered Dr Lasala many times at night with medical questions during my pregnancies and each time she answered the my chart app quickly and… explained everything.

See a different doctor. She lacks professionalism

Dr. Lasala has a shockingly poor bedside manner and is utterly inattentive to patient needs. It's clear she needs to retire, as her lack of concern for patient outcomes is alarming. I can't fathom why she is in maternity care when she seems to care so little about the well-being of her patients and their babies. I would not recommend her to anyone.

Great

Worst doctor that I have ever had. She does not care about her patients care.

I see unfortunately that Dr. Anita Lasala has not changed in her treatment towards the BIPOC community. If you are for whatever reason “stuck” with her as patient please do the following to protect yourself in the event something goes medically wrong. 1. Have all issues documented in you patient chart. If Dr.Lasala refuses your medical request ensure your medical chart/record for the day states “refusal of patient request for...” obtain a copy from medical records. Be sure you inform her that you want it documented in your chart for the visit. 2. Follow up with an email stating your concern regarding your appointment in terms of what did or did not take place. Bcc: Patient services on the email. Keep your paper trail. 3. Get a Doula. You will need one if she is your doctor. Expectant mothers matched with a doula have better birth outcomes. Doula-assisted mothers were four times less likely to have a low birth weight (LBW) baby, two times less likely to experience a birth… complication involving themselves or their baby. Remember if Dr.Lasala is your doctor you must be your own medical advocate. Knowledge is key and power.

Was recommended to see Dr. Sala for medical clearance. She never examined me. I was summarily dismissed in a brusque manner. I am a black woman and I believed her treatment to condescending and uncaring. Please do not be afraid to ask for another physician.

Black Lives Matter! Doctors take an oath to treat all patients equally, and yet not all patients are treated equally well by Doctor Lasala. This doctor will ignore your pain complaints, not give you bed rest nor disability during your high risk pregnancy. Hospitalization might be provided when you are literally near death. Those luxuries are only provided to a hue of individuals. Allowing them to rest and be monitored under the care of the hospital. If you are a BIPOC you will not get the same care by this doctor. There are other doctors at the practice who are amazing. I advise if you value the life of your unborn child you see another MFM.

No patience exhibited at all!

It is obvious this medical provider has a preference for some groups over others, either implicit or explicit. This will affect your treatment throughout your pregnancy. You will feel there is little expectation of success for your pregnancy as a patient. Proceed with caution with Dr. Anita Lasala.
