Lafrance Russell M

I absolutely agree with lady bug...I saw him 4 times and asked him to re-look at the MRI...my PT looked at it and saw rotator cuff tears...his reply was they don't know how to read an MRI. Finally got a second opinion after being told repeatedly that I hadn't damaged anything. I kept telling him that something was getting caught in the joint and that pain would radiate down my arm. Hmm...turns out I had 3 large tears of tendons, torn biceps muscle and a bone chip. 5 anchors later back to normal.

If you need an arrogant person who lacks compassion and has zero listening skills go to this Dr! He couldn’t even use his “oh so precious” time to explain the results of the x-ray images to me. Whatever I got accomplished today was thanks to the his very knowledgeable and kind assistant!

Dr. LeFrance was absolutely amazing when I met him. He was very straight to the point and didn’t waste time in getting what I needed. I got X-Rays fairly fast and he explained better what my issue was. I opted to do a cortisone shot, and during he asked questions to distract me from the injection and to try and distract the pain I felt. I’m very glad I was referred to him, and am ready to go back when I need to.

Dr. LaFrance didn't even listen to me. I came in for knee trouble, and he couldn't have been a nastier person. Didn't even look at my MRIs (which I was told I needed to bring or I wouldn't be seen) glanced at the x rays and said I have a lot of arthritis for my age. Then he says "I don't understand what you want me to do for you". He proceeds to give me two injections, which I repeatedly told him haven't worked in the past, told me to go to physical therapy, which has only made my symptoms worse, and come back in three months. The guy has the bedside manner of a grumpy old man who resents his work and hates his patients.

Horrible. Dr LaFrance took MRI’s of my two shoulders back in April 2021 and said one was torn and one was partially torn and surgery was needed. In July 2021 I moved a mattress and re-damaged the left shoulder making it worse. Meantime I had two leg surgeries and a back implant for other damage. The left shoulder was so excruciating I could not dress. I saw him today for a check up and to request another MRI. He ordered X-rays galore, he manually and roughly tested my range of movement which was very poor, then when asking me to raise my injured shoulders he grabbed them both and yanked them high. I screamed in agony. He told me I was in to much pain to be helped by him, and surgery would not work, before even ordering and reviewing a new MRI. He is a horrible man that apparently gets his
