Treated me with kindness and effective trratment

Again, he was attentive, listened to my responses to his questions and was genuinely honest with my questions and his responses. He gave the impression of being a very compassionate surgeon....unfortunately, not always the case with a lot of MDs.

Awesome surgeon, good listener, explainer and pleasant disposition, besides being an extremely competent orthopedic surgeon. I'm in for a second surgery with him and feel completely confident in the outcome, which helps with my fear of surgery in general!

After reviewing imaging, examining my hip and listening carefully to my history, Dr Lara presented me with both a surgical and non-surgical option and explained risks to me. I really appreciate what I learned and the consideration given to my concerns.
