Dr. Lara is a primary care physician who is Board-Certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. She sees everyone from newborns on up. She has special interests in gyn care for women, pediatrics, and enjoys serving LGBT patients. Though these are some particular interest, the main reason she practices Family Medicine is because she loves taking care of entire families! Doctora Knudsen también habla español; un cuarto de sus pacientes hablan español. When you visit Happy Doc and show up on time you will not wait or else you get a little gift from her. There are no staff at the clinic so any time you spend in the clinic is time spent with Dr. Knudsen. A core value at Happy Doc is to not rush you or your health story and to not rush the doctor as she collaborates with you to make a good plan. You could say Time is our speciality.
