I TRAVEL 50 MINUTES TO STAY WITH LAMPREY
Susan says:
I first walked through the doors of Lamprey Health Care in my late 20s. Now, at 68, those same doors still welcome me, and the journey we’ve shared spans over four decades—a lifetime of care, compassion, and unwavering support.
Back then, I couldn’t afford a necessary breast exam, but Lamprey’s sliding fee scale made it possible. That moment marked the beginning of a relationship that would go far beyond medical care. Over the years, I’ve faced countless health challenges—complex medical needs, a hysterectomy, hormone adjustments, and even a frightening battle with sepsis. Through it all, Lamprey was there, offering more than treatment. They provided reassurance, kindness, and a sense of being genuinely cared for.
I remember calling Lamprey from China once, panicked after my legs swelled dramatically following a long flight. Thousands of miles away, I felt their guidance and concern reach me, reminding me that I was never alone on this journey. For over 40 years, Dr. MaryAnn Johnson was a constant source of support, and while I dearly miss her, I trust Lamprey to help me transition to a new provider with the same care and attention.
Lamprey Health Care has grown alongside me, always adding services under one roof to meet the changing needs of patients. The staff is kind and considerate—they make every effort to return calls promptly, and the doctors strike the perfect balance of being efficient without making you feel rushed. It’s rare to find that blend of professionalism and genuine humanity.
For me, Lamprey is more than a healthcare provider. They’ve guided me through the hardest chapters of my life, including 15 years of family turmoil, with the staff offering steadfast support and wisdom. They listen, they care, and they consistently go above and beyond what any patient might expect or hope for. I’ve never felt like just a number. At Lamprey, I feel watched over, loved, and heard. They’ve been the voice of reason throughout my medical journey and a pillar of stability in my life.
Lamprey Health Care isn’t just a place for medical care—it’s a place where lives are cared for, and I am living proof of the difference they can make and "the fact that I travel over 50 minutes for each doctor visit just to stay with Lamprey says it all." I love the team and the care!
