Tamara Martin

“I love Dr. Laue, he takes his time to really listen and he explains thoroughly, however the business side needs a wakeup call they “forget “to call in prescriptions for days but promise it’s already been done. I stopped going just because of the inconsistency of the office, When you get a bill and you show them proof the insurance has paid, they don’t even take time to straighten it out….you will still get another bill, so the circle goes around again,. Call. Explain. Send proof. Get an “ok we will fix it in the system”… until the next bill comes in…then it’s back to the circle. The office manager will make you think your wrong instead of owning up to it and just get it done. It’s exhausting. I just don’t go in for that reason. It’s such a hassle. You would think if you work with customers/patients that they would make sure that side was taking care of because Dr. Laue is an Awesome Doctor!!”
