Went in for my first ultrasound and was told to consider termination due to hyperemesis and using my prescription medication. Did not take the time to listen. He just said come back later on if you decide to move forward and left me in a panic. Spent 7 minutes with me

He is nice. Some people are so mean in the reviews. How can you give him a low rating if you have not even seen the guy. He seems very scientific and fair. I like him. I had a great visit with me.

DR.LAFFERTY WAS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL AND I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE GOING TO SEE HIM ON SUCH A DELICATE SUBJECT! LACK OF COMMUNICATION AS WELL BETWEEN STAFF AND DR.'S.

This doctor never gave up on me. We knew from test results that I was heading toward cancer. He never gave up trying to find the problem. When it finally came time for surgery, he was kind and caring and made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed. I remember when he came and sat with me before surgery to make sure I didn't have any questions and reassure me. He is a caring and dedicated doctor!
