Dr. La Follette is the finest doctor I have ever known. Besides being very smart, and at the forefront of her profession, she is kind and compassionate. Dr. LaFollette truly cares about her patients, and their results. I was diagnosed with cancer, and although she was not treating me, she guided me every step of the way. She spoke with the oncologists, pushed for information, helped me make the right decisions, and improved the treatment I received. I am not sure I would be here without her.*

- Mary Christine G.

I love Dr. Dela Merced and Dr. LaFollette. I never feel rushed when I am there - nor that any question is judged or off limits. They want the WHOLE picture - not just the pieces that they help facilitate from the medical side. This for me, is the difference between a practitioner I am willing to pay a concierge fee to - versus one who I am not. Thank you to both of them for their dedication and commitment to helping women stay connected to their bodies, life needs and their overall happiness inside and out. It means so much.*

Always friendly and supportive.*

- Dorothy J.

Lizellen is always so positive and makes you feel special during your visit. Because the visit was so upbeat I forgot to ask the two questions i had, maybe it would be good to ask if I have any questions. Also my appointment was moved the day before so my husband could no longer join me, which I understand happens from time to time due to the nature of your business, but on the day of my appointment I was asked to come in earlier then when I arrived it took over 30 minutes to be seen.*

- Rebecca T.

Dr Merced is kind and very competent. We love her!*

- Amanda W.

friendly, smart, tho a bit too hurried*

- Leslie S.

We had a great first meeting!*

- Katheryn K.

This is a follow-up review on the same challenge I was having before. I went for a follow-up visit and as always, Dr. La Follette was upbeat and ready to hear my progress. Everything has remained PERFECT since my last visit and the solution was complete and has continued to give me my life back. I couldn't be happier. I did have to wait a wile this time as she had another patient who needed extra time. That was fine, though, as I know that if I need extra time, she will be there for me, too!*

In this day of 10 minute doctor appointments, Lizellen always takes extra time to explain what is going on. In addition, I received a follow-up call directly from her on a Saturday. She deserves 5 stars for that.*

- Anne G.

Great office Very professional and courteous employees*

- Penelope H.

Having Dr La Follette as my OB GYN is sincerely a dream come true! I feel so incredibly well cared for! For me, her expertise, consistency, clarity, confidence in my care and wonderful personality makes her one of my very favorite doctors to see--and I have sincerely shy-d away from getting my annual pap done, etc for way too many years. Not the case anymore. Her front desk staff however has much to be desired. Its too bad because for such a Wonderful Doctor, the staff is in disconnect with the values and vision of the doctor and the place in general. For example, the receptionist is sadly cold to the point of being offensive--almost inhumane? The Office Manager speaks to "down" to clients--truly unfortunate--almost dare I say, condescending--Its as if they don't get it that its ok to be nice or gentle or kind--most folks in Marin hold advanced degrees, no need to speak down to anyone, ever. People who are happy at their jobs do their work with Joy--Its almost like being rigid and speaking down to people is the office staff's misaligned way of thinking/office value.... that the colder the more disrespectful they are is a work trait. Being Unkind and Disrespectful does not equal a good work ethic. All I can say to unkind people: What you sow, dear women in the office, you too shall reap! No one is immune. No one. Perhaps a kinder, more gentler way would behoove y'all.*

- Eva B.

Very kind to rush me in so I could make my son's Karate ceremony--I always love Liz Ellen's upbeat energy.*

- Vanessa M.

Jackie was very thorough and called me to follow-up on a question involving another doctor.*

- Emily C.

Here for my annual exam; friendly receptionists, nurses and doctors. Seamless experience.*

- Elizabeth C.

Dr. De La Merced is highly qualified, knowledgeable and reachable. Excellent Dr. !! She communicates well with me.*

- Patricia W.

I absolutely love Lizellen. She is brilliant, funny, incredibly skilled, down-to-earth and has an irrepressible "can-do" attitude which is infectious and inspiring in so many ways. As her patient, my only critique is that, in certain moments, there is an occasional need to slow down. Lizellen operates at such a high-functioning level - I would think that many patients (myself included) do not grasp, for example, the pros and cons of certain treatments as quickly as she explains them. Lizellen and her team are absolute rock stars and I cannot recommend her highly enough.*

- Jennifer O.

Great as always!*

- Michelle S.

My experience with Dr. LaFollette and her team was awesome. Great office and professional practice. Would highly recommend her.*

- Muzhumathi M.

I can't say enough good things about Dr La Follette & Dr De La Merced's practice. I switched to their practice at the start of my third pregnancy and am so glad I did. I saw both doctors throughout my pregnancy and I can say that both are truly top notch. Both were very detailed and thorough with my care. They made sure I was aware of all the extra testing available due to my advanced maternal age this time around. Both doctors are extremely warm and friendly too and I always felt like they truly listened to me at each appointment. I always looked forward to my visits with their office and they always greeted me with a smile. I was also always able to schedule appointments when I needed them. They are also very accommodating with whatever birth plan you may have. For me, they went above and beyond and allowed me to choose my induction date as I really wanted to deliver on my mom's birthday which was just after my due date and they made that happen. A huge plus is that this office will deliver at both CPMC/Sutter & Marin General and it was so nice to have the option of either since we live right in between the two. I HIGHLY recommend this practice! I'm done with having kids now and will continue to see them for ongoing OBGYN needs.*

- Christine V.

Always a pleasure and a great experience! Love the whole staff!*

- Lisa A.

The best!!!*

- Muzhumathi M.

Lizellen & the entire staff at her office are top notch. I would recommend, hands down a thousand times over! Lizellen's energy is infectious. She makes every visit fun and comfortable. She knows her stuff, but has great rapport with patients to make sure you feel comfortable and informed and empowered. During labor and delivery, she made sure she was present & on call and made me and my husband feel so comfortable and safe in her care. She is a total pro and cheerleader! I felt like I could do anything I set my mind to in that delivery room with her coaching and guidance. She is a total pro and a treat to be around. If you want to have a successful, low stress, high energy, fun experience, you'll get it here!*

- Jennifer F.

I saw Jackie for my 6-week postpartum visit. She was friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Jackie thoroughly addressed my questions. It's great to have her back following her own maternity leave.*

I saw Dr. Jacqueline Dela Merced on her first day back from Maternity Leave. She looked bright and was cheerful! She called a day after the appointment to verbally give me the results. Who does that anymore?!*

Listens very well, gives lots of time for the appointment and very pleasant. I was VERY satisfied.*
