Very detailed & knowledgeable doctor
So glad I found Dr. Lama! She was everything her great reviews said. Jaimie at the front desk was so welcoming & friendly. I sat down to wait for my appointment & was called in within 2 minutes! Dr. Lama asked a lot of questions, listened to my answers & then put all of the details into the computer & even read it back to me to make sure she got all of the details right. She explained what the next steps would be in my treatment & when she would be contacting me next. Would highly recommend! My only negative was when they sent me the appointment reminder it has the Yorktown office listed & I was going to the Cold Spring office. Not a huge deal. Office was very easy to get to & has big parking lot.
