Philosophy of Care

I consider patient education to be one of the most important aspects of a visit. As your medical provider, I will prioritize teaching you about your condition, along with the potential treatment options, because I believe that optimal care requires collaboration between the provider and patient. Every patient is an individual with unique needs. As such, my medical approach will be tailored to you. I chose this specialty because of the focus on improving an individual's quality of life. As your provider, I look forward to helping you return to the activities that you enjoy.

Having been a health care provider myself for many years, quality of care and listening to patients is paramount. I was thrilled with Dr LaCourse's easy way of interacting with me and he was a good listener. Made good eye contact. Knowledgeable and confident. Very engaging. I would return to see him in a heartbeat! I thought to myself, if this were my son or grandson, I would be so very proud! He embodied what I wish/believe that health care providers should be. Efficient, knowledgeable yet don't lose sight of the importance of the patient interaction. Priceless!

He was knowledgeable and discussed my issue thoroughly with me. I do feel that he could have been more gentle when moving my legs during the physical exam/evaluation part of the visit.
