Dr. LaRock is absolutely hands down the best top doctor in South Coast. He absolutely cares about his patients.
Dr. LaRock is one of the best providers I have ever worked with. I can't imagine a better one in virtually all respects. You can't improve on that.
He takes very good care of his patients and explains everything. There are not many drs like him. Wish there were more. Excellent Dr.
Dr. LaRock is great. He is a good listener and answers my questions in layman's terms. He also has a good sense of humor.
Dr. LaRock usually goes over everything that is occurring in my medical chart and he shows me, not only tells me, he shows me the medical proof that what he's saying is actually what's going on. He allows me to view the screen with him and I think that's very important. And he seems to know what he's talking about and he knows my other doctors and their information. So I'm very happy with that. Thank you very much.
He listened and included me in my health care decisions
Dr. LaRock is the most caring, kind physician I have ever been to. I rate his care for his patients a 15.
Dr. LaRock is the friendliest and most caring doctor I have ever met. I wish all doctors were just like him. His staff is also fantastic.
Always took care of me in any situation Needed an appointment or needed to chat always supported
On time, friendly, professional
Dr. Larock gave me his complete attention and understanding. He made me feel heard, cared for and understood.
I can't imagine how you could have improved my experience with Dr. LaRock. Time and time and time again, he's on top of my situation. He's questioning my use of the medications that I'm using and he's doing a physical exam that checks my prostate, which is the most important thing I worry about. Like most of my experiences with South Coast, I'm extremely happy that Customers would recommend South Coast in a heartbeat. But Dr. LaRock stands out among all of them. He and [Name] [Name] stand out among all of them and their office staff stand out as well. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Everyone was great, in regards to the secretary at the check in window, the nurse who talked to me in the examining room before my doctor came in the room, the doctor himself, and the secretary at the check out area!!!
The doctor was kind, attentive. He took his time with me. He was thorough.
I appreciated Dr LaRock and his team in the successful treatment of my prostate cancer. I am very happy in my choice to be treated locally. Best decision I made.
