Patient Testimonials
-
Dr. Amlie-Lefond helped to save my daughter's life. She was relentless in her pursuit to find the cause of my daughter's unknown strokes. She is dedicated, extremely knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond in every way. She took the time to make sure my daughter felt safe and secure with every procedure and also helped us to understand what was going on as things continued to happen. She is the perfect mix of an exceptional doctor and a kind person. We are forever grateful for her care!
