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.

Good at explaining what’s to be done in surgery! Likeable personality!

Positive energy!
Dr LaFemina was a pro the whole way through. She explained, she asked more than once if I had questions, and she was prompt in getting on the phone within an hour of pathology results. She is approachable, patient, energetic, and clearly knows her craft and takes pride in her work. The day of the surgery, it was as if I was her only case in the world…she approached me with such positivity and good energy that I knew I was in good hands.

Dr. Lafemina is the type of surgeon everyone wishes they had. She will explain everything to you in terms that you will understand. She has a great personality andcshe truly CARES about her patients. She cares about you before your surgery, during your surgery and after. Even a week after, it is still just as easy to get HER (not a nurse, the actual doctor) on the phone and talk to her about any concerns that you are having. She specializes in breast cancer surgery and does an absolutely wonderful job. I truly feel lucky that I had her as my surgeon for a very serious and in-depth procedure.

Dr. Lafemina is extremely thorough, intelligent, personable and answers any questions you have with complete confidence. She saved my mother this year from ampullary cancer by operating on her by the Whipple procedure and for that I am grateful and appreciate her expertise and personal communication. I highly recommend Jennifer Lafemina. Thank you.

Dr Lafemina is exreamly thorough. She explains everything is terms we could understand and made sure we comprehended what she was saying. She saved my mom from pancreatic cancer, and did what I believe a lot of doctors wouldn't have. She is an all around good doctor, talented, skilled, and personable
