Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2026
Dr Lafata is my Primary Care physician and he is the best doctor that I have ever had. Dr Lafata saved my life. I'll keep it short but I was feeling well, run down and had headaches. Dr Lafata sent me to get a MRI and the results showed I had a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball. I had a successful brain surgery and I am back to normal. He is truly one of a kind and I am lucky to call him my doctor
