Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. La Pointe took over Dr. Ottolini’s practice years ago. He is wonderful. I have only seen him for wellness exams and annuals, but became fond of him quickly. He is gentle, caring, and explains everything. I have entrusted him with the care of my mother who had dementia, my elderly aunt (who hadn’t seen a GYN in years) and my best friend. He is retiring next year. Good for him. But, he will be sorely missed. I have been a client in this practice since 1970. I know that I will continue to receive great care in this practice. I wish him the very best. I have always described him as ‘lovely’,and everyone I referred to him conferred.

Dr. Lapoint is the most knowledgeable gynecologist that I have ever met! His nice personality is a plus! His team is very nice and friendly as well. I took my mother this week with a stage 4 uterine prolapse. She is 91 years old. We had been told that surgery was the only option to correct the problem. Dr. Lapoint solved her issue in fifteen minutes putting her uterus back in place and introducing a pessary to hold it. No surgery, no anesthesia, no recovery time! It was amazing and truly exceptional! Blessings!

Dr. Lapoint is the best of the best. He never rushes you through your appt and makes sure to thoroughly listen and answer any questions. His bedside manner is great too, he's very funny and personable! Every time I see him, I leave thinking, I am really glad he's my gyno.

Dr. Lapoint has been my OB for many years. He delivered both of my babies for me and is about to deliver my third. I would trust Dr. Lapoint with my life and the life of my family. He is trustworthy. He keeps up on current topics, articles etc. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was lucky 17 years ago, when someone gave me Dr. LaPoints name. He has since delivered both of my babies via c-section. I also just had a laparoscopic hysterectomy, which he also performed. I have nothing but glowing things to say about this man. He put me and my family at ease and did a beautiful job. Thank you for always taking the time to answer all of my questions. You are the best around!!!!!
