In patients' words

"Excellent care. I felt heard, cared for and gave me all of my options. I am menopausal and felt greatly informed. Friendly and helpful staff every time I call or visit."

WebMD Care (review for Dr. Lepine)

"The office is open 15 HOURS PER WEEK, 9-2 Tues-Thursday, so if you have anything complicated going on they simply are not around enough to get really good care."

Healthgrades (review for Dr. Lepine)

"I would not recommend Margaret Echt as a doctor. I did not like her bedside manner. During an office visit she discussed with me her financial situation in detail for fifteen minutes."
