Laura E. Babe, MD, PLC Reviews
I Feel So Lucky - Dr. Babe has consistently provided me with excellent care, combined with good humor, understanding, and intelligence. I congratulate myself often that I had the good sense--and that she had the availability--to join her practice.
Dr. Babe is always available addresses my needs. - Dr. Babe took the time to listen to my issues and addressed my concerns.
Dr. Babe and her staff are my heroes! - I recently went on an extended vacation to Vietnam. Dr. Babe worked with me for several months getting me ready for a very active vacation. I’m talking hundreds of stairs and many hills to climb. She worked with me with changing my blood pressure medications to make it easier to exercise and arranged therapy for both my back and shoulder. My trip was a tremendous success and I was able to do everything I wanted.
Dr. Babe takes all the time I need to talk to her. She listens and she asks all the right questions. She does not rush me and is kind and thoughtful. She is the best. I highly recommend her. She has a wonderful staff also.
