Reviews from Dr. Larson’s Patients:

Dr. Larson is the best! Our whole family sees and trusts her. She takes a lot of the health-anxiety out of parenting, which I’m so grateful for.
Melissa Larson was skilled, efficient and thorough with my evaluation. I’m a provider myself, so I set especially high standards for the medical details.
