Dr. Lainee was engaging, gracious, gregarious, lively and very thoughtful. It was crystal clear that the only thing she had in mind was my good health and well being. She clearly and patiently explained everything she was doing, as well as what she found and various options for treatment. And she was very patient with my questions as well (again, NOT providing 'assembly line medical care). I really liked her!
