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.

She was absolutely wonderful!
She was amazing! Professional, kind, attentive and patient. I tend to be very long winded and had a long health history story to tell as to what lead me to her office and my appointment. She listened to every word and answered every question. As well as telling me step by step what she was doing. She even complimented my manner of speech. I would give her 100 star rating if I could. Doctors like her are rare and greatly appreciated. I hope they and she most definitely knows so! I pray she sees this review and has an awesome day, week, year and life.

Amazing Doctor and Person
I found Dr Lucero who listened fully to my symptoms and past medical trauma. Dr Lucero is fully attentive and caring. She has been guiding me through this new diagnosis and helping my family to understand this disease more fully. I look forward to returning to full health with her guidance. Dr Lucero is a true blessing to know.

INCREDIBLE, KIND AND COMPASSIONATE DOCTOR
Dr Lucero is increible on all levels. Dr L is compassionate, pays attention to details, is extremely efficient in her care and has helped both my daughter and myself with relatively serious health issues. Her appointments are never rushed, yet the wait time is very reasonable. I cannot say enough to convey the kind of care and the kind of person Dr Lucero has demonstrated.
