Dr. LaRue consistently makes me feel heard and respected. He takes my questions and concerns seriously, explains my conditions and treatment options clearly, and makes sure I understand the reasoning behind his recommendations. I appreciate that he includes me in decisions about my care rather than simply telling me what to do. He is thorough, patient, approachable, and genuinely concerned about my well-being. I also appreciate how responsive he is through MyChart-when I send him questions, he replies quickly and gives thoughtful, thorough answers. I have a great deal of confidence in him and would recommend him without hesitation.
