She really, you know, gets on the kids' level to make them feel comfortable by playing with their stuffies and things that they brought to make them feel comfortable in the appointment and being a little silly. So then my kids aren't as, you know, nervous and they are more open. She's just great. She's really receptive to any of my concerns and I just love her. I would follow her probably wherever she goes. So I hope she stays here. Okay, thank you.

  • It was great

    2025-09-28

  • At the end of my appointment, the doctor left and I thought she was getting something and she didn't return, but the nurse did. This happened at my previous appointment also and I found it odd, that she didn't say good bye, she just disappeared. It makes me wonder if she was afraid I might ask another question?? I have no clue. But, she's so responsive during the appointment but she never says "have a great day" or some statement of what's happening.

    2025-09-26

  • It is always comforting to have a visit with Dr. Lash.
