I have been seeing Dr. Ladd for some 20 years.   He is an excellent practitioner with a great "bedside manner" in his office, not the hospital as I have never seen him there.   He is very attentive and eager to solve any issue I might bring up.   I have never been disappointed by anything he has or has not done when seeking his aid.  I could not be happier with any other doctor.   His staff is "top shelf" in all their assistance and they too seem to really care what kind of service they provide.   You will never go wrong with Dr. James Ladd!
