Dr Lafaro is the best doctor I have experienced in my entire life. Her knowledge and her care is world-class and her bed side manner sets her apart. She is direct and compassionate. She obviously cares about me as a patient and as a human being. She is also great to my family who are with me on this journey. There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe how much I respect, admire and appreciate her. Simply put, she is amazing!

Kelly Lafaro is an excellent surgeon. She makes sure each year at my annual checkup that I know how am doing from the CTscan I get the day before. It will be 4 years in October since my operation. This year I feel the best ever.
