:( Click to report rating    10/9/09 3 3 2 I would not recommend this doctor. I had 3 colonoscopies with her and each time I kept asking for less anesthetic. She promised so would give less but I was always knocked out completed. I finally switched doctors and explained why to the new doctor. At the colonoscopy center when the new doctor was late I had a change to talk to the nurses and mentioned why I had changed doctors. The nurses told me that Dr. Laessig does not want her patients awake at all so no matter what she promises, she knocks them out. The new doctor reduced the anesthetic, it was very tolerable and the rest of my day I was fully alert and function. It was not lost getting the anesthesia out of my system. I came away feeling my change from Dr. Laessig to a new doctor was a great decision.

:| Click to report rating    6/23/09 3 4 3 I've seen Dr. Laessig several times, and although she performs an exam, she doesn't come back to the exam room to explain her findings. Her nurse generally comes in after to tell me what meds to take. This is confusing, as Dr. Laessig is very personable.

:( Click to report rating    5/5/09 3 1 2 I was surprised that Dr. Laessig did not examine me. It was a first-time appointment and while in the middle of my speaking with her she ushered me to the check out and did not have the courtesy to say goodbye. She also did not ask me a number of key questions re my symptoms and I am left with the feeling of having had an incomplete consult.

:| Click to report rating    1/24/09 1 1 1 I would have a difficult time recommending this doctor even though I have been a patient for nearly 10 years. Although she has a good bedside manner, it is nearly impossible to get a response to calls when trying to make an appointment or when requests are made. I have waited over a week multiple times when trying to get a prescription refill. Her assistants are unresponsive and their poor response time and demeanor is less than desirable.
