Dr. Richard J. Laracy Jr, DO

"absolutely atrocious, i have had stomach problems for years, i’ve had multiple visits, according to him it’s just constipation, so that means he prescribed me laxatives, i was there because i poop at MINIMUM 6x a day, so obviously laxatives are the PERFECT option for me, and i know what you’re thinking. “did you at least try taking your prescription?” of course i did, and guess what it did not help. but don’t worry because i went back and he told me the same exact thing!!! wow what a professional 8 years of school for what? i’m 5’11, i weigh 138 pounds, i cannot physically put on weight, i have 0 appetite, i have to force myself to eat a meal a day while peeing out of my butt 10x in that same day. not to mention i can barely even ride a plane because the pressure difference makes it feel like someone is stabbing in the abdomen. i have to take tums, tylenol, lactaid, gasx, etc. every day to feel semi normal. if you have any form of problem this is the LAST person you should see."

"Richard Laracy has been my 16 and 6 year old daughters physician for the last 13 years he has been nothing but professional and knowledgeable about my children’s care. He has always gone above and beyond any time we have needed him! He has been an amazing doctor for both of my daughters we would lost without his expertise! He has helped my family through some scary medical diagnosis and has been nothing but supportive and compassionate while guiding us to the proper specialist. We would be lost without him!"

"Dr. Laracy has been our family pediatrician for over 15 years and I have been nothing but impressed and thankful for the care he has shown my son and daughter. He has always struck the perfect balance between being thorough, an advocate and proactive while also being approachable and candid with a professional yet compassionate bedside manner. He has referred us to truly excellent practitioners when needed and has supported our family through surgery for a badly broken arm and a birth defect as well as the death of my children's father. My children and I have tremendous respect and appreciation for Dr. Laracy and his commitment to offering our small area truly excellent healthcare and expertise. We are fortunate to have him in our community."

"Dr. Laracy has been my now teenage daughters’ pediatrician since they were little. Over the years he has again and again exceeded my expectations of a PCP. He is responsive to whatever the presenting issue is- no better how matter big or small - with the highest degree of attention, respect, care and compassion. He calls personally to follow up, reaches out to specialists to make sure he has all medical information related to their care, listens to both me and my daughters, answers all of our questions thoroughly, and is always respectful of my input. Prompt scheduling is never an issue, referrals to specialists put in in a timely manner, and we are always seen at our scheduled time!"

"I have known Dr. Laracy both professionally and personally for greater than 15 years. He has been my teenage daughter's pediatrician since birth. I am grateful this valley has a competent, thorough, kind physician who advocates for children's health. As a medical provider myself, I have the utmost respect and trust in his medical decisions and care for my girls."
