    How was your appointment with Dr. Lafferty?

    Jul 18, 2022
    Every time I have had an appointment, I do not wait longer than 10 minutes. This is remarkable, considering most doctors have a 20 or 30 minute wait. He is a good educator, thorough, and compassionate. Adapting to a new doctor when moving from another state is challenging. He makes it easy.
