Done great doctor and staff
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/4/2026
Provide a wheelchair with staff operated all the way out to the patient's vehicle if you need the seatbelts to keep them in the wheelchair, which I don't think is reasonable, but that would be a greatly help, you know, especially if they're trying to walk on a walking cane trying to get to the vehicle and got a bad knee. You know, a wheelchair would really make things nice. Thank you.

I can't think of any other way you can provide better service. I trust Dr. Drake Lavell, he has always listened to me, provided detailed explanations that I can understand and been willing to go the extra mile if needed. I'm so thankful that he's just around the corner and that the scheduling is always willing to work with my schedule. Thank you thank you.

I was very pleased with everything. They are so wonderful there. The doctor that I previously had there moved out of country and this was the first time I had seen my new doctor. He was wonderful and listen carefully about all my concerns and went over any options. He even offered a possible temporary solution to what he might could do that day if I wanted to try that. They were all great!

I was very, very happy with my visit with my new doctor. He was very kind, very courteous. He listened to me, and he discussed my history, that he noticed certain things on my history. And he said that if there was anything else more than once that I needed to call back, and I was very, very happy just to let you know. And I look forward to coming back if I need to come back, and I appreciate him very much. Thanks for such a great office. Bye-bye.
