    She was very through and took the time to explain everything. I thought she reviewed things that were not in her specialty that my PCP would do. Very kind!

    Dictionary of Titles identifies 3 main categories of work as either AFFECTIVE (heart or person_. PSYCHOMOTOR (skill or hands-on related). or DATA(numerical or brain). Dr. Laura embodies all 3 and relates to a patient's sensitivity in each area of where they are. Just a really GREAT doctor.
