What Our Patients Says
The staff are friendly, thorough and professional. I love my doctor. He was engaging and good listener. I’m very pleased with my diagnosis. Hope to see him more often so I can get back to my normal routine. Glad I came to see Dr. La Mont.

The staff are friendly and helpful which I very much appreciate. The facilities are both clean and efficient. I was able to do all of my tests in their offices. Dr. Walters went over all of my test results and explained everything clearly. He didn’t rush through my appointments.
