She always sits down, face to face with me and validates my concerns/problems.  Excellent listener and attentive. Timely - within 20 minutes of scheduled appointment which is acceptable. Professionalism - expert orthopedic surgeon that is extremely grounded, honest and has a positive attitude. Referrals - I would and have referred many of my friends and family members to Dr. Laura.  History of past surgeries and or problems addressed - knee, shoulder, hip and hand with stellar outcomes. Her Nurse Practitioner, Robert is just as friendly and competent as the physician as well as escalates when appropriate.
