Very helpful and excellent bedside manor. Explained what was going on and diagnosed my condition within a few minutes. After seeing two other Neurologist, this was a huge relief. Months later, I am happy to report my problems are resolved.

After seeing 4 different neurologist over 3 years,, Dr Lafaye was able to diagnose and prescribe a treatment that has resulted in me being pain free for the first time in years! She is a lovely, caring doctor who has spent a tremendous amount of time dealing with my ailments.

Poor listening skills; dismissive of reported symptoms; made accusation that my symptoms were psychiatric in nature. LATER I saw another neurologist who listened to my symptoms, did a good exam, came up with a correct diagnosis and has been aggressively treating me with good results.
