Dr.Lapointe has been my Doctor 4 years. I have several serious health concerns. She always goes the extra mile and is more than prepared, making sure that meds that help one condition doesn't harm another. Very patient. The staff there is awesome!

Dr is very thorough, caring, and easy to talk to. Staff is efficient but could be a bit more talkative and cheery, in my opinion.
