Dr LaFave has navigated the changes that Endeavor's purchase of this practice imposed on my patient/provider relationship with grace, humility, attention to detail, and care. The change of insurance coverage which I was forced to make created a number of obstacles in her quest to continue my long time medical care plan without interruption, and I am incredibly grateful for her effort, and for the care and attention of her team, especially [...]. THANK YOU.
