I am 32 years old and have been going to Dr. Lagrone for the last 7 years after being diagnosed with Lupus. He is well mannered, listens to my concerns, and very educated. I am blessed to have him as my doctor especially being young and very scared of what I was experiencing. He took the time to educate me about what was going on with the new diagnosis and what to expect during the process. Thank you Dr. Lagrone for being a sweet caring doctor!

I highly recommend Dr. Lagrone and Louise! They are both wonderful at explaining things and taking plenty of time to listen and care. Been to 4 other Drs for RA and after going here I will never go anywhere else. MAs and nurses aren't wonderfully friendly, neither is the phlebotomist but the lady that does the infusions and Dr. Lagrone make it all worth it. Easy to get an appointment scheduled quickly office is very nice. I can't say eough good about this practice, YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED. Highly recommed!
