Patient verified via Press Ganey

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Lagarna, From the moment we walked in, it was clear that she is a physician who truly cares about her patients on a personal level.What stood out most was how informative and thorough she was. She took the time to explain every detail of my care in a way that was easy to understand, never making us feel rushed.What truly touched our hearts was her genuine concern for my well-being and her inclusion of my family in the process. She spoke directly with my husband and daughter, making sure they fully understood my condition. She gave them specific, practical guidance on how to help me at home and most importantly what specific signs they need to watch over me for. It is rare to find a doctor who shows such genuine concern for both the patient and their family. We left the office feeling confident, informed, and truly cared for.
