Dr. La Follette, and Dr. Dela Merced, are excellent doctors and wonderful people. They answered a myriad of questions, supported my endeavors for a natural childbirth, were great care providers during my pregnancy, and were reassuring when a breech baby meant having a scheduled c-section. The procedure was flawless, I could not have asked for more capable, kind, and supportive medical expertise during and after the surgery.

- Erin H.

Lizellen, Jeanne Marie, and Jackie are all exceptional!! I've been their patient for 5 years. They took care of me throughout my recent pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. I couldn't be happier with the care I received! They were all very attentive, thorough, detail oriented, and took care of me both physically and emotionally. They all spent a lot of time with me in my visits and never made me feel rushed. They answered all my questions, and always asked "what else?" Their office has a very low C-section rate, which was very important to me. They supported me in having a natural birth, and we did it! My husband, mom, and mother in law were all impressed with their warm, caring bedside manner. Daphne their receptionist and all their nurses are absolutely lovely as well. If you're looking for a caring OB or GYN in Marin, this office is fantastic!*

Great! Lizellen takes her time to discuss whatever concerns you have, of which she always has very informative answers to, and explain your test results in a way you can understand. The biggest thing is she listens to you, is open to doing further research and action on your issues, and has great communication during and after your appointment.*

- Julie N.

Dr. La Follette takes time to understand the needs of each of her patients, completely explains all of your options, and has a progressive, creative approach to problems. Outstanding solutions that NO ONE else offers. She is simply the best, borrowing from Tina Turner!*

- Lisa G.

Dr. La Follette is friendly, positive, and pays attention to your entire physical and mental health.*

- Mary M.

I am an anxious patient, but because the nurse, (whose been with the Dr. for 19 years)...says a lot....was so down to earth and pleasant, that I started to relax. Then when Dr. La Follette came in, her warmth and humor started relaxing me even more. She clearly is passionate about what she does, exudes engagement with the process and made me smile a lot:) She mentioned healing options I had not heard about before, which also lowered my concerns. When I told her I wanted her to be my doctor for a long time, she said with a big smile..."I'm not going anywhere, I'll be here".*

Dr Dela Merced continually makes each appointment comfortable and personal by asking me what questions I have and checking in about my family and past concerns.

In addition, she has increased the number of times I come to see her to make sure everything progresses as best as possible during this pregnancy.*

- Catherine K.

I always feel like I'm in great hands with Dr. LaFollette! Dr. LaFollette and Dr. Della Merced were so supportive and wonderful throughout all my prenatal visits with both of them. Dr. LaFollette was recently my #1 cheerleader when I gave birth to my first baby, especially as she was a surprise 5 weeks early, and I have felt in such good and experienced hands with her and her always positive spirit from my appointment with her confirming my pregnancy to my recent first postpartum visit.*

Through the pregnancies and births of my two children, Lizellen and her team have been with me for years and I feel so happy to be a part of the practice. Thank you!*

- Jennifer I.

The family doctor I wish I had worked with all my life. When I left home I left a lot of my close primary doctors behind. Over the course of 15 years I saw a lot of doctors, very few of whom made much of an impression on me. I was referred to Dr. LaFollette for help during my pregnancy. Over the past few years I have had some very difficult times with fertility and Dr. LaFollette has been here the whole time; whether she is responding online to my fears and concerns, consulting with my fertility Drs. or referring me for acupuncture, her and really her entire office has made me feel welcome and like they care. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. LaFollette. I am grateful to have found her.*

- Tamara G.

Nothing short of excellent.*

Hi! This is Prajakta; I was taking my treatment from Dr. Dela Mercrd;.Excellent experience, she is very caring, very talented doctor. I trust her completely. No doubt for 5 stars from me! I love her! She is the best!*

- Prajakta K.

Wonderful service. Personal, genuine, professional, and caring*

- Tara C.

Dr. La Follette makes me feel safe about my health in her hands. She has so much experience and knowledge, and genuinely cares about women in every phase of their lives. I've been seeing her for over 8 years and at some very difficult times her care helped me regain my health. I would, and have, recommended her to many friends.*

- Debbie T.

THE MONA LISA TOUCH is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself! It has changed my physical intimacy to a level that I did not realize I could ever regain. I've been able to enjoy and sustain a longer and more comfortable sexual experience than I've had since I was in my twenties! I did the procedure for this very reason--not really for the man I was with. However, he thought I was foolish for spending the money on this-he told me I had no reason to do it as things were perfectly fine (which they really were for a woman my age), but if I wanted to spend money on "voodoo" "snake oil" procedures then fine. Well, after the first treatment he told me it was really worth the money, that he was glad I had done it, and when was the next appointment for the second treatment! We laugh and talk about this now, and refer to the "Darth Vadar" laser treatments that bring stars and end wars in the bedroom :)*

- Debbie T.

Doctor Jacqueline Dela Merced is very professional. She listens to my questions and what I have to say. She explains answers to my health very well and gives me great advice. I recommend her she is one of the best caring doctors I have met.*

- Janelle A.

THE OFFICE STAFF ,AND DR. LA FOLLETTE WERE FRIENDLY AS ALWAYS. . DR. LA FOLLETTE HAS BEEN MY GYNECOLOGIST FOR MANY YEARS, AND I AM CONFIDENT THAT I AM RECEIVING EXCELLENT CARE. SINCERELY, TECLA G.*

- Tecla G.

First time I have ever felt comfortable during the exam. And they make sure I feel the same every visit. All the staff is friendly and on time*

- Erin R.

I really loved the treatment and care given throughout my recent experiences of miscarriages and ultimate successful pregnancy. The doctors and nurses at this office give wonderful patient care. For example, I had to have a procedure at a hospital that did not have to be done immediately, but Dr. Merced went out of her way to make sure that I was taken care of on the same day. Dr. Merced and Dr. LaFollette both truly listened to my concerns and questions and provided excellent options for my labor. I delivered a healthy baby and had a very successful postpartum recovery. I had my first baby with another practice, and had a much different experience. Also, they are very responsive to patient requests and questions. The quality of care with Doctors Merced and LaFollette was much better.*

- Chase M.

This was my first time meeting with Dr. Dela Merced, and she is a fabulous addition to Dr. La Follette's team!*

- Pamela P.

Doctor Dela Merced was wonderful; experienced, knowledgeable, and patient friendly. I am 64 years old and have seen many doctors, so I do not take the time to write unless truly impressed. My only wish is that she had been my OB-GYN when I had a baby at 40!*

- Kelly L.

Lizellen is such a great doctor. She is so supportive, easy to talk to and I feel really comfortable with her. I would refer her to any one of my friends.*

- Linda G.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Dela Merced and it was a great experience.*

- Maria R.

Lizellen delivered my twin boys over 20 years ago. I cannot imagine seeing anyone else. She is very current in any new female issues and discoveries.

Dr Dela Merced is kind, nurturing, and knowledgeable. She goes beyond the normal duty of call for her patients. A wonderful doctor.*

- Katrina L.

Dr. La Follette and her entire team are top notch. I have never had a doctor care so much about my health and well being. Dr La Follette is extraordinarily capable and guided me through my first pregnancy with a nurturing hand while always being quick to respond to any physical concerns or questions I had. I am now pregnant with my second and so grateful that Dr. La Follette will be by our sides throughout it all.*

- Mika S.

Lizellen is the best doctor I've ever had. Dr. Dela Merced is just as awesome. While they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable they also welcome my own emotions and decisions. They make sure I feel completely comfortable with every step and I can feel how much they care about each of their patients. I just underwent laparoscopy by them and they did a fantastic job and were also sensitive to how the scars would form and so the incisions scars are hard to see with a bikini on. I wish I still lived in Marin to make the appointments easier but they are worth the drive from Sonoma county.*

- Marisa M.

Dr. La Follette reviewed my test results with me, and my husband, and gave us her recommendations in a very reassuring , knowledgeable manner. I left the appointment optimistic that I would be well taken care of. Dr. La Follette's office staff from the front desk to her nurse do their jobs with ease and in a timely manner. Thank you for giving me peace-of-mind.*

- Doris L.

Lizellen is fantastic!!*

- Lynne T.

Dr. La Follette is great as always!*

I have been going to Dr. Dela Merced since 2015. She is very friendly and helpful. I feel quite comfortable going to her and I like that she cares and knows your personal history. I would highly recommend her.*

- Christina V.

Dr. La Follette has been my gynecologist for just over 20 years. Today, as always, she addressed my concerns in a clear and knowledgeable manner. I am most fortunate to have her as my doctor.*

- Lynn B.

Every appt. With Dr. La Follette is like visiting a friend. She is personable , puts you at ease instantly. No question is too trivial for her. She always has me laughing & I leave the office with a smile. I find her educational programs a great bonus for women. It is a comfortable space & I would think for women who have serious problems , mothers who are stressed out & first time mommies , it is a safe haven. The pink foot booties crack me up. Dr. La Follette is on top of all new treatments & is direct & honest with her patients. I'm working on sending my daughter to her, after all she is taking care of my daughter-in- laws, why not my daughter, a family girl affair. i find the staff, warm, welcoming & they all have a smile on their face so that must tell you something about the compatibility within the work environment. Dr. La Follette is not permitted to retire!*

- Katherine H.

Wonderful, thorough and helpful!!!!*

- Leslie L.

Always honest and knowledgeable, I wouldn't want anyone else as my obgyn*
