:) Click to report rating    1/13/10 4 1 3 5  We have brought our son for non-traditional treatment for Autism. His previous physician seemed to take an "oh-well" attitude. Dr. LaCava has presented a unique approach to treatment focussed around diet, supplements, and environment. Areas needing improvement: 1) Continually up to an hour late - even at the beginning of the day 2) Extremely abrupt manner 3) Does not always explain purpose of treatment in detail 4) A friend referred by us told us they were given the wrong frequency for a perscrition

:) Click to report rating    10/9/09 5 5 5 5  I echo the sentiments brought forth in the first rating..in fact we also moved a great distance from Dr. Lacava as well and we remain patients(baby, son and myself). Both of my children have had health issues that began at birth and I myself have struggled with chronic issues as well that only Dr. L was able to help us with despite years of visiting other so called experts. I appreciate that Dr. L expects you to to be responsible and do your part in regards to your wellness...his manner could be described as abrupt, but we have never found him off putting. He is no nonsense with adults and straight forward, but highly supportive. with my children he has always been terrific..they love him and everyone on the staff. The ND Erin Morrissey is also fabulous..you can not go wrong with anyone at the clinic. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Lacava for giving my children a healthy start in life and for supporting our wellness choices.

:) Click to report rating    6/28/09 3 4 4 5  Dr. LaCava is an excellent physician who uses a wide range of lab tests to determine the person's individual problem and treatment plan rather than attempting to apply out-of-the-box treatments based on a few clinical symptoms. Dr. LaCava is one of those rare doctors who actually tries to solve people's medical problems rather than just put band-aids on it. While he can be occasionally abrupt to adults, he is always patient and engaging with his pediatric population. I really think he is a great doctor and our family continues to visit him even after moving a bit of a distance away from his office.

:( Click to report rating    12/4/08 2 2 2 2  One of the nurses seems to be affected by patient body language and is upset very easily. Doctor has tendency to overwhelm patient with high priced tests and testing before delivering any treatment, if any.
