I was checked in on time but it was 50 minutes before I saw Dr. Layaco. Thought I was first appointment of the day but maybe not.

Dr. Lacayo is a nice guy and a good doctor - but the scheduling at the office can be a problem. My appointment was for 10:40 but it took until about 11:30 before i got to the exam room. There seems to be a lot of pressure to move patients through the system "quickly" - despite the wait.

Attention to detail and humor is appreciated. He will tell you if he doesn't like what he observed, ie., weight gain, blood pressure, etc. so don't ever take it personal. 😊 Just shows how much he cares!

Good bedside manners; Dr. E looks over/at any progress I have made. He is very observant when he see legs swollen. Wants me to get weight and A1C down. Quick to send me to a specialist, like today, wisdom teeth needs to come out got referred to hospital surgical dental clinic, I should him right lower leg wound needs attention after some 9 yrs healed. Received prescription refills. Overall, he and staff good people.
