Doctor Lafornara is exceptional. She is very solutions based with an excellent bedside manner. She actually listens to you and helps you, rather rare in this day and age. Cannot say enough good things about her. She takes great care of her patients.

Dr. Lafornara was extremely helpful in helping me decide what kind of birth control suited me. There is so much information out there it gets overwhelming. She helped to calm me down and make a decision that best suited my lifestyle and personal habits. She was nonjudgmental and extremely friendly.

Dr. Lafornara is great! She was kind, easy to talk with, answered all my questions and had a clear understanding & explanation in both medical and layman's terms for my concerns. My appointment was a last minute booking, I was late for the appointment and I had to fill out paperwork. So the wait was partly on me. Either way she's worth waiting for! So glad I have a new & wonderful GYN!! Thank you Dr. Lafornara

Dr. Lafornara was great - I had moved and was unable to see / unhappy with my last OB-GYN, and she took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a new doc.
