Dr. Laraine Field has been my physician for almost thirty years. When she switched to MDVIP, I stayed with her. I have never regretted that choice. Dr. Field is very approachable, warm and deeply caring about her patients. She does not just treat symptoms. She finds out the history, listens carefully, examines carefully and then diagnoses the problem. Many physicians do not do that. When I… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Field
After 20 years we know each well
She goes well beyond the norm
Would never go anywhere else
I have had many doctors during my adult life and I have never experienced one as thorough and excellent as Dr. Field. I’m feeling that quite keenly right now since I’m relocating out of state soon and will face the tremendous task of finding another doctor who will have to fill her shoes. I’m losing not only a wonderful doctor but feel as if I’m losing someone who also has been a friend. Thank… See more
I have thoroughly enjoyed our patient-doctor relationship and for the first time in my adult years, I am not an anxious mess when I know I have to "go to the doctor". I have appreciated your medical expertise, calm, bedside manner, which is always reassuring, and our discussions about current events which, in my case, definitely affect my emotional well being! :-) Thank you for… See more
Although I do not have a dramatic incident, as the story above this, I must say that Dr. Field exemplifies what good medical care is. She listens carefully to what I have to say, watches me as I speak, and seems to 'home in' on what is important. So many doctors today spend their appointment time with the patient just staring at their computer while the patient is speaking! I know Dr… See more
She took wonderful care of my mother for years. I started going to her in 2007. She has pulled me through some trying times of all sorts. Has always referred me to great specialists if I needed one. She truly cares about her patients. She does not come in the room with a computer. She comes in and wants to know how I am, and what my concerns are. She always is patient and explains… See more
Through Dr. Field's exceptional care and my exercise diligence, I am a 32 year heart attack survivor. Dr. Field has been available and responsive to our needs at all hours and even when we have been travelling out of the country. She is very thorough and comprehensive in ensuring that we understand our health situations.
Finally, a Doctor who listens and truly cares. Dr. Field is excellent. When I joined as a new patient, she was the first doctor in 15 years that took the time to listen and to ask about my health history in order to help address a few of my nagging concerns. She provides in depth explanations in a way that I can understand and act on! She is knowledgeable in analyzing results and somehow finds… See more

When my husband John was diagnosed with cancer three different times, my sons and I decided it would be great to enroll him in the MDVIP program. After his death as I grew older, Dr. Laraine Field became my doctor and later became my MDVIP doctor. She is a very good doctor and a great person and friend. She never rushes me and takes her time with me until all my problems and questions are… See more
We love Dr. Laraine Field. This is just the most recent example. Suddenly on 11/7/17, my husband was in the ER with terrible back pain. The ER doctor called Dr. Field, so her plans for her day were suddenly interrupted. She took a sincere interest in what was going on with Bill. She talked to the doctor and later talked to the ultrasound technician. She waited to receive test results… See more
