Dr Laura Tavarez has been an amazing PCP for me for years. She takes the time to listen and is thorough with her answers and care. Her bedside manner is kind and compassionate. Her timeliness and level of concern make me feel important and not just another patient. She goes the extra mile and for that, I thank her.
