Dr. Lapidus was absolutely wonderful, awesome, understanding about my child's medical and mental conditions. She was very patient, very thorough, and she had, you know, just overwhelm, overall an amazing bedside manners with my daughter. And I am grateful for the time that she took to make sure that she was comfortable and that she was able to, you know, dissect information to us. So we're grateful for her.

Provider was great. Our appointment was at 2:30pm and we weren't seen until 4pm. Then as the doctor came in to exam us, the fire alarm went off. We had to wait over a month for this appointment and the wait time was terrible. Staff was friendly and MD was great.

We have built a special relationship with Dr. Lapidus. She was very helpful in helping us transition from Peds to Adult Rheumatologist. We will miss her very much.
