Dr. Larochelle was SO nice and kind. I've had a wild year medically and recently found out the source of all my complications. When I told her, she was excited for me and said, "I'm so glad you finally have a diagnosis!" Very kind and attentive.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of communication between [NAME REMOVED]'s rheumatology team, the ophthalmology team at the Moran, and the ophthalmology team at Primary children's. It's extremely frustrating when the communication regarding my child's care has to be initiated by me rather than her care teams talking directly to each other.

Dr. LaRochelle accommodated my travel restrictions, and I was able to see her before my scheduled appointment. In addition, she took the time to double check my eye pressure thoroughly and to explain (and also print) the medication drops schedule. Lastly, she communicated the purpose for our next visit. The Moran Eye Center should be proud (and work to support and retain) clinicians and surgeons of this caliber. I am certainly proud and honored to be her patient. Bravo!

I felt that the appointment was rushed. Coming back, I wrote a note to the care provider in the My Chart and mentioned this. Hearing this, the care provider called me the next day and clarified my doubts. I feel that patients, with appropriate background who want more in-depth and scientific explanation would be benefited and would also feel happy if the care providers explain in more technical terms with going in-depth.

I went into this visit expecting a routine check-up and ended up having to have a surgery. Although this surgery was noninvasive, I was caught off guard by the news and feeling very nervous. My doctor, the receptionists and nurses helped to mitigate that anxiety with every step. They took care of insurance authorization, explained every step of the process, and laid out all of the possible side effects and outcomes of the surgery. When it was time to begin the procedure, Dr. LaRochelle and the nurse were both very professional and thorough. However, in spite of this professionalism and efficiency, they both were very compassionate and kind throughout the whole process. They took every step to make me feel comfortable and to relieve my anxiety. Also, I should note, even with this added surgery, my entire appointment took less than two hours from arrival at the clinic - which is incredible considering my experience with other specialist visits involve a time frame of 4 hours on average.

When I first saw Dr. LaRochelle I was scared and I had a lot of questions about what was going on with my eye. I experienced a considerable amount of anxiety which directly related to having eye disease. Because of my fear I asked her a plethora of questions and voiced many concerns to her each visit. She not only tactfully answered all of my questions, but she validated the way I was feeling and really listened to me. It meant a lot to me to feel like I could speak and be heard. Most importantly she was able to hamper my fears of losing any further vision. I can't speak highly enough on her behalf. She is incredibly smart an amazing physician. I really trust her with my eyes.

I did not feel like I understood the explanation given. I said that I did not understand. I still did not understand when I left. The medications were explained to me from a different provider and were not clear to the assistant entering the prescription, they were clarified with Dr. Larochelle at my request. The doctor acted like I would know what was going on before i got there. "Have you done research on what type of lenses are available?" Uh, no.... that's why you're here. I have confidence in the ability of Dr. Larochelle because I was referred to her by a provider who has confidence in her ability, however, she and I were not on the same page.

I felt Dr Lauraschell was informative and forthcoming when I asked her questions. I had no problem with the health care providers, just the wait and all the apologies. when I left there was not another person in the office. Perhaps the appointments should be spread out more.
