Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Lucarella is Great! She treats me with respect. Even when she's running late, she still doesn't make me feel like she's rushing me out the door. Very caring. Takes time to explain things. I feel confident in her expertise. So happy I was referred to her.

Great doctor!
Five stars are not enough to rate Dr. Lucarella. She is without a doubt one of the best doctors I’ve seen in decades. Her depth of caring is evident in the time she spends truly listening to concerns, explaining tests and medications and charting a health plan moving forward. I only wish that I could see her for every other area of my health needs!

My husband was a patient of Dr. Lucarella for several years. For us he is the best doctor. She has great knowledge and is very dedicated to her patients. Sometimes it happens to wait a bit longer for an appointment, but it is always justified by the fact that at the moment he is with another patient who requires more attention and more time. Remember that someday you and YOU will need more time, I'm sure Dr. Lucarella will surely find him too. We think he is a great doctor who really tries to help the patient in all his problems

I am very happy to have this Doctor for my mother who lives by herself. This doctor took the time to make a long distance phone call to let me know my mother's condition. I am very grateful.

Dr. Lucarella is phenomenal. She did not hesitate in ordering tests and making sure my Beta Blocker was at the correct dosage. The office is very nice and the staff is great. I highly recommend her!

I was very unhappy with my previous Cardiologist when I found Dr. Lucarella. I cannot say enough about how great I feel about Dr. L and her staff and the treatment that I get. For once I am a whole person and not just another case. She truly cares about all of me and it shows in everything she does with me. I have the utmost confidence in her as she listens to me and explains things to me and discusses issues with me and we make decisions together about my health and treatment. NONE BETTER !
