Laura Converse, PA is excellent! After Dr. Wegman retired I was placed in Laura's very capable hands. I am totally satisfied with the care she provides. Laura listens to all my concerns at every appointment. That is why I don't mind waiting a little longer.

Jul 25, 2024
Dr. Converse has ALWAYS given me all the time I required. She has ALWAYS been on her game, EVERY time I've had an appointment with her. I have no complaints whatsoever and I'm on the prickly side of things. You [...] sure need to give her a big raise based on my experiences alone or you,ll lose like my last primary and Urologist. Greener pastures and all that.

Give my doctor a raise. [...]

Laure Converse and Dr. Brockway both deserve special recognition for the help and care they have shown me during this illness.
Mar 30, 2024
I requested Dr. Converse because she's incredibly kind and listens well. She is not my assigned doctor, but I much prefer to see her. She is a treasure, and you should pay her more because she is lovely. She's knowledgeable and takes your opinions into account for all decisions. Plus, it is really helpful that it feels like she truly cares about you. She is the only doctor that has ever truly made me feel like she cares. What a kind, gentle human. I try to avoid the doctor and only end up there when things are actually really bad or when my allergist refuses to refill my prescriptions until I go in to see her, but at least when I do actually go to my PCP, I know that Dr. Converse will listen to my concerns and take me seriously. You are lucky to have her at your practice.
