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.

Decided to try Functional Medicine since conventional was’t working for my wife’s arthritis & hormone therapy. After spending approx $6000+ on multiple visits, test and supplements(they get you buying a lot of these) with this clinic my wife never received any relief and in his final recommendation Dr Cuccia told his receptionist to tell us we needed to find a Rheumatologist putting us right back to conventional medicine, where we started before we spent a ton of money with him. He never spoke with my wife or offered a recommendation? After going to an ObGyn we were told that my wife should have never been treated hormones(another big expense) unless the proper screening test were done to R/O an existing tumor that could have been made worse if she had such a situation existing while he was prescribing her hormones. The only time we ever could talk with Cuccia was when we were paying for a consult. This experience scared the c—- out of us and has left us weary of functional medicine

Initial consult was good. Had high hopes. (If he would get a partner that the insurance companies used, would definitely profit much.) It was bad that my labs came back with a serious health problem and I never heard from him or staff. Learned only after I picked up a copy of my labs a month later I was in danger.

I was exposed to mold and my husband has Lyme Disease. Dr Cuccia's compassion and dedication are beyond words. He has sunk his heart and unbelievable knowledge into helping us. I am feeling much better after 2 years of help. My husband (Mark) is a different story. His battle contnues, but Dr Cuccia will not give up. Unlike other doctors. He has sent us to various clinics. Both clinics did help. He is a Godsend. He is also very entertaining. His staff (Barbara and Whitney) are also great.

Dr. Cuccia and his staff are very friendly and supportive. He is very knowedgable and loves to teach which helped me to understand the symptoms I was having. The most important part for me was that I finally had a plan to improve my health and get back on track. I've already seen a big difference in how I feel and I'm not as tired and worn down each day like I have been. I definitely recommend Dr. Cuccia for his level of compassion and understanding, love for teaching, and how I feel when going.

Dr. Cuccia is very thorough. He worked with me to solve a medical issue that 3 previous doctors could not resolve. He explained results and treatment in terms that were easy to comprehend. He and his staff are always responsive to any questions i have during the visit and any time I call. I highly recommend Dr. Cuccia.
