“Dr. Laborde was professional and attentive and his front office staff is nice as well. He takes care of acne very well and really tries to understand and address the root cause while also being mindful of comorbidities and side effects. ”

“My experience was awesome. I didn’t wait very long at all in the waiting room when I got into my room the nurse took down all my information was very friendly. When the doctor came in, he was already informed of why I was there. He was very friendly, sensitive, and very informative. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family.”
