I love Dr. Lauinger and his nurse (I unfortunately don't remember her name). I love his approach and that he is honest with me but non-reactive. It encourages me to be honest with my doctor instead of trying to pretend I'm doing better. He comes across patient, caring, kind and understanding. He's great and so is the nurse I always see.
