Dr. Laura Chauvin, MD significantly overlooked my father’s prognosis from a PET scan that she ordered, assuring him that everything was fine. My father was one of her last patients in May 2025 before she transferred to another facility. When he followed up in July 2025 with the oncologist who replaced her, the new doctor was appalled that no action had been taken regarding a tumor that was already occupying over 30% of his prostate — clearly visible on the same PET scan Dr. Chauvin ordered and reviewed. Seven months later, we also discovered that another abnormal area on that PET scan was never addressed, and my father has since been diagnosed with Stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma. The tumor has now tripled in size and metastasized. This lack of attention and follow-through had devastating consequences for my father’s health. Dr. Chauvin showed a concerning disregard for critical findings, and I would not recommend her to anyone — not even my worst enemy.

This "women" was extremely judgmental as soon as she walked in the door! I do have tattoos & piercings but I own my own business & I am a college graduate. She did not listen what I had to say and made me feel like I was beneath her. She made me uncomfortable, very hard to talk to,insensitive to my issues. I waited almost 40 minutes for her to be quick questions,basically had no idea why I was there other then I was referred. I would never recommend this "so called" doctor to anyone! The staff & her nurse were very nice & made you feel welcome total opposite of the Rude,arrogant "Doctor". Wont see her again!

Beside waiting 3 to 4 hrs to see Dr. Chavin, she does not inform her patients about their progress with treatment. She gives her patients the wrong information, along with giving them treatments that’s not required. She need to be reported for insurance fraud!!

Short: I will never recommend her to anyone. She had 3 questions asked. Her response was with her index finger up. I will say this one time. The choice is yours. I know mine I changed Dr.

Dr. Campbell has been awesome. She seems to really care and takes her time with her patients. She is straight forward, with out being blunt.
