Laura E. Babe, MD, PLC Reviews
Primary physician Dr Laura Babe - I have Been seen Dr. Babe since shortly after she started her practice. She has seen me through the loss of my spouse who was also a patient and helped me with several emotional personal issues.. Dr. Babe is thorough, pleasant, professional, and very interested in the well-being of her patients. Her office staff is outstanding. I will continue seeing Dr. Babe as long as I can’t afford the fee and able to travel.
Dr. Babe is an excellent doctor. - Dr. Babe takes time to listen to my health concerns and try and find good solutions.
Great Doctor - Dr. Babe is a reliable, sensible, down to earth physician, who spends time getting to know her patients, has a great sense of humor, and is very knowledgeable about medicine. I trust her judgment completely.
I would highly recommend her. - She is a 'no-nonsense' doctor, which I appreciate. Another attribute I like is when I call on her cell phone outside office hours she responds almost immediately.
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.
