I had seen Dr. Laplante give a talk about menopause at Medina Library. I had a good impression of her, but I didn''t really want to drive a long way to see a doctor. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to see her specifically. I am so glad I did! I have never felt so listened to by a doctor before! She really took the time to get to know me and understand my concerns. She explained everything clearly and was helpful in answering questions. She reviewed different possible approaches. I highly recommend her!

I have seen Dr. Laplante for several years and this was the first visit where I feel that she really didn't care about me or my concerns. She was looking at the computer the entire time and when I brought up something she just brushed over it. I see her once a year and was very disappointed in my visit.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/29/2025

She is a busy doctor and a great doctor. Her availability or lack there of is not an issue with her quality of care but rather an issue of supply and demand.

Dr. LaPlante has been my OBGYN for 18 years. I would NOT have seen her this long if she has not met all the criteria you are asking above. I like that if I ask her a question she gives a reasonable response and IF she does NOT know the answer for a fact she will say so and follow up with me.
