Laurel Slaughter's Online Review Report Card

I had a bad experience with Dr Slaughter. My daughter follows with her after she suffered a brain injury at birth. I voiced my concerns to Dr. Slaughter concerning my daughters speech. I believe speech therapy could benefit her especially since she is at risk from her brain injury at birth. Dr Slaughter refused to write a referral for my daughter to receive speech therapy. Even though the therapy was going to be private and we were going to pay for it and use private insurance all we needed was a referral. It was upsetting to say the least. Please find a better more caring Dr. her excuse was the typical “I’m not comfortable writing a referral for speech therapy.” REALLY! It’s only going to help my daughter. But she just wouldn’t do it. Then she sent in the NP who finally agreed a wrote me a referral. I can’t stand doctors who don’t want to take the time to do their job and refer everything to the NP

Dr. Slaughter lacked basic bedside manner and etiquette when dealing with my family. She treated our case like it was an inconvenience and a nuisance to her. I guarantee that if her child had similar conditions, she would be fighting tooth and nail to ensure healthy development. Overall she lacked empathy and showed little concern for our child.

Kind, thoughtful and professional. I feel I can trust her.
