Patient
I brought my daughter in to follow up with a heart murmur they heard at birth. After the appointment, it was determined she was fine and didn't have a heart murmur. However, Dr. Lara said I should bring her back in a year from now to check "another" issue with her heart. I explained to him that financially, I could not afford to keep bringing her back year after year if nothing was truly wrong with her heart. He told me,"I should bring my daughter back when I get BETTER insurance." (I'll be sure to tell Blue Cross and my employer that the insurance they offer is inadequate for Dr.Lara's office.) Eventually, he went on to do other test to rule out the issue so we wouldn't have to come back. I was grateful for that.
