Dr. Lafontaine was such a very good listener as to what was going on with my body. We talked in depth about the different things that I've already tried and she had some great suggestions and she followed through and my appointments are made and hopefully we can diagnose exactly what is going on with me. I feel like no one else has really gone as far as she has. I really appreciate her and I respect her and I would recommend all my family and friends to Dr. Lafontaine . Thank you.

All was great. However I'm having 2nd thoughts about if I should do the procedure at Austell just because it would be in a hospital in case anything went wrong. But then I trust Dr. LaFontaine would not have given me option to have done at Smyrna if she didn't feel confident. PS: please send me the link so I can get set up on Wellstar My Chart. Thank you
