Being a pediatric orthopedic provider allows me to combine creativity (taught to be by my parents, a home economics teacher and an engineer) with evidence-based medicine, to repair broken bones, correct deformed lower extremities or create masterpiece casts. I love caring for children. At the end of our visits, my goal is to ensure my patients and their families feel confident in our team's treatment plan, whether or not surgery is needed.

    So attentive and takes time to review images in detail

    Explanation was thorough and decisive. Tx pln seemed reasonable. It was just very rushed and obvious they were very behind, which happens I totally get it, but as a provider myself who also gets in those situations when you can't spend as much time, It does help ease the patient for them to know that further questions or concerns are encouraged after they leave if they have them.

    The Dr was amazing. She introduced her assistant who was taking notes. Many BIG words were used as she talked through the physical exam but those were meant for the assistant that was recording notes. Doc did an incredible job articulating her findings in a way that did not alarm my daughter.

    Dr. Larson was clearly very knowledgeable. Our only challenge was how quickly she could explained things, it was very hard to wrap our heads around the new information we were receiving and keep up.

    Provider was great. Only drawback was that she gave feedback/ spoke really quickly so I could tell that there was a time- issue that day. It felt like we were with her a few minutes. But she addressed questions and was professional

    Dr. Larson accomodated our late arrival, talked fast, but still made sure we had the time to be thorough., understand and address everything.

    We worked with Dr Larson post delivery as a consult and her bedside manner was a huge factor in our decision to have follow up care through her for our newborn. She is very caring and explains everything she is doing as she conducts her exam and why she does it. We will continue to go out of our way for continued care because of this
