I have already recommended Dr. Lacourse and team (Maddie). So far, he has been the perfect doctor, re: my criteria: Knowledgeable/updated on appropriate diagnostic tests/treatments, a good communicator -both in terms of explanations and listening -, sensitive to patient's pain/experience, responds to Mychart messages in timely manner, etc. Maddie, too, could not be more efficient, responsive or kind/pleasant. The bottom line is I trust him and believe I am receiving the best medical care I can for my issue.

I was amazed that Dr. LaCourse sent me a message on the Sunday of a holiday weekend letting me know that he had received and reviewed my MRI results. The compassion and care he showed with that gesture shows his dedication to his patients. So grateful that I was randomly assigned to him as my specialist.

Having been a health care provider myself for many years, quality of care and listening to patients is paramount. I was thrilled with Dr LaCourse's easy way of interacting with me and he was a good listener. Made good eye contact. Knowledgeable and confident. Very engaging. I would return to see him in a heartbeat! I thought to myself, if this were my son or grandson, I would be so very proud! He embodied what I wish/believe that health care providers should be. Efficient, knowledgeable yet don't lose sight of the importance of the patient interaction. Priceless!
