Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Lacey has been my cardiologist for the past few years. I originally met Dr. Lacey when I was in the hospital for rapid heart rate. She was among a number of doctors working with me during my stay. Dr. Lacey stood out as most interested, compassionate, and committed to working with me to manage my condition. I see her every six months and I look forward to each visit. Dr. Lacey remembers me and cares. Our relationship is a true partnership and connection in the care and good health of my heart. I am grateful I found Dr. Lacey. You will be, too!

I felt very frustrated about having my concerns be dismissed by another cardiologist and so I moved to Dr. Lacey's care because of the video introduction John Muir Health created for her. Smart move! I appreciate that she is able to communicate clearly and in a kind, humorous, and personable manner. This puts me at ease and greatly helps my heart! I had felt so anxious in the presence of other docs who lead with a wall of intellect and ego. She's also more open-minded than other docs.

Dr.Lacey will sit in front of you and ask you how you are. She personalizes your visit and listens to you. She confers with your other physicians about your health and shows she sincerely cares about you individually as a human being. Her knowledge shines through and you couldn’t find a more thorough cardiologist. If you’re looking for a doctor who listens, see Dr. Lacey
