I was seeing Dr. Field for several years before she joined MDVIP. She also treated my Mother for many years. When she joined MDVIP. hesitated for a bit about joining. I saw another doctor that a friend recommended. He was cold, uninterested in me, looked at his computer the entire time he was with me, and had no suggestions to help my issues. After some consideration, I decided it was worth the extra money to have a doctor who cared, who listened, and who really wanted to help me. I have never regretted my choice. Not long after I joined, I developed kidney stones, was in the ER for a day, and had additional problems late at night, and very early the next morning. Being able to call Dr Field on her private line was a huge relief and saved me from returning to the ER. I was very grateful to have that option. She advised me what to do, and I recovered. I have had the need to call her after hours a couple more times, and she's always available and ready to give me needed advice, or call in a prescription. She spends a lengthy amount of time with me at every appointment and makes sure she addresses all my issues. I never feel rushed, I feel she cares about resolving any problems, and makes sure I understand everything, I would not trade her care for anyone else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Laraine T. Field for approximately 18 years. She is a highly intelligent, professional, kind and attentive physician. She thinks through medical situations carefully and thoroughly, sifts through the evidence diligently and explains medical information and needs in a manner that patients can understand. She provides options when available and provides the pros and cons. She listens to my concerns in a manner that allows me to feel that I am heard. An example of this occurred twice in the last year. When I had a painful sore throat that was very different that I had ever encountered before and made an appointment on the 2nd day...much earlier that a physician would expect a patient to wait before coming in, she considered that I was telling her that this was very different and I felt that something was wrong. Indeed, labs indicated that I had 2 different bacteria. Several months later when I came in early on a different issue with an unusual sequela that may or may not have been related, she took me seriously, ordered labs and an unexpected result was true. I very much appreciate being her patient!
