“Dr. Lara is the best thing that has happened to me in years! When I first went to him, I was dealing with crippling depression and anxiety. My internist at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation would prescribe anything I wanted, but he clearly had no knowledge of medications. Enter Dr. Lara, who was able to patiently work with me until I felt normal again.”
