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.

Should have her license taken away
11 years ago, Dr. Celeste Lagarde was my breast doctor for over 13 years. I trusted her and cared for her. When I developed estrogen, progesterone cancer, she insisted I repeat, insisted that I have 6 to 8 rounds of chemotherapy.I am one person, how many innocent people has she destroyed their lives with unnecessary chemo!!!!Please, even if you adore her, get a second opinion! It can save your life!

Dr. Lagarde performed my bilateral mastectomies prior to reconstruction many years ago. I still travel from out of state to follow-up with her and Heather once a year. Dr. Lagarde is a skilled, compassionate surgeon. Her entire office staff is helpful and responsive.

During the time of extreme emotion distress from learning I had breast cancer, Dr. Lagarde and her team were a bright spot in my initial care. They answered my questions, returned my phone calls in a timely manner, and were empathetic to my problems. But what really impressed me was what a talented surgeon Dr. LaGarde proved to be. An artist in fact. After my lumpectomy "the girls" looked great! Even, symmetrical, you could hardly tell anything had happened to one. She's a fine surgeon.
