Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2018
Dr. LaFon is a caring and knowledgeable doctor. He truly listens to what you say. What I trust about him is the fact that if he does not know something, he says so and then finds someone who does. I have moved out of the state and I will miss having him as my doctor. I received excellent care with him.
