Love Dr. Lafornara! I highly recommend her. She took time to talk to me at all my many appointments -- when I was pregnant and in the years before. I never felt that she was in a rush. She was great throughout a surprisingly speedy delivery, and a difficult recovery - a very reassuring person. I was so sad to have to leave her when we moved away.

Would not have made it through my pregnancy without her. She is compassionate, caring, relatable, professional.

This is my first pregnancy but compared with all other medical care I have ever received in my life, by far she is the best. Recommend her highly.
