I wasn't thrilled about the virtual. My doctor wasn't feeling well so she decided to do a virtual because she did not want to infect her patients. That was a good decision. I was comfortable with the virtual and her. She gave me the information I needed and reduced my anxiety leve during this meeting

Dr. Laronga was extremely knowledge on the diagnosis and also very realistic in relating my options and possible outcomes. She gave me the information needed to make a very difficult decision at a very stressful time so that I left and felt totally confident in what was to come. She was wonderful throughout the entire process. During recovery her staff was very responsive to all of our concerns. Definitely would recommend Dr. Laronga and Moffitt Cancer Center.

Caring, thorough, honest and professional. Dr. Laronga is an asset to the Moffitt. She cares about the patient in every way and she treats you as an individual, not a number. Her surgical skills are superb.

I have been going to Dr Laronga for 19 months for a rare cancer. She is GREAT. Both my husband and I love her. She listens to everything. Gives complete information. Really knows about all about my cancer when there has been little or no research. She is like a real person and not a stuffy doctor. Her bedside manner is fantastic. I am in an online support group for Phyllodes Tumor with people from all over the world and they all want my doctor.
