Dr. Lauren Elizabeth De La Parte

After a complex surgery and week-long hospitalization, I expected a much higher level of compassion and professionalism from this physician. During my hospital stay, I made a request for assistance and asked to speak with Dr. De La Parte, one of the physicians on my care team. Rather than addressing my concerns directly, Dr. Dela Parte characterized my request as "inappropriate" because the issue was considered non-emergent. My husband, who stayed by my side in the hospital for the week, agreed that the care needed was urgent and we asked the RN to escalate the issue. Not only was Dr. De La Parte dismissive, but she was also degrading. No compassion was given at a time when it was desperately needed. An awful feeling to walk away with, and ultimately, the reason for this one and only review I have ever felt compelled to write.
