Dr. LaBella and his staff were amazing! They treated my ankle as best they could with the tools they had, and one of his receptionists (nurses?) got me a wheelchair and wheeled me all the way to the ER, where Dr. LaBella had called ahead.The ER staff was also great. I have no complaints about anyone but the guy that told me to stand by the green cones.

The doctor was incredible. He listened, he was empathetic, he not only heard my current symptoms which drove me to make the appointment, he heard me out and helped me get down to some of the other life issues that could be contributing factors to my symptoms. I felt truly cared for.
