Philosophy of Medicine

"My philosophy is to give patients the knowledge and understanding they need to make the best decisions for their health. When a woman leaves my office I hope that she understands her body/condition more and understands why I am recommending a certain treatment. I approach each patient as an individual and treat her as I would my own family and friends. Medicine is constantly evolving with new information and research. I strive to practice evidence-based medicine, keeping up with the changing practice and guidelines."

    Over all always have a great experience. I always recommend Lessard as being the best OB doctor you could possibly have. Only negative is having to wait sometimes up to 45 minutes after appointment time for her to come into the room.
