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.

Caring, patient, & knowledgeable in explaining things in understandable terms.

Best Dr. Ever!
I went in for an ablation to be done. Dr. Lugo did three areas on me. The first Dr I saw a year and a half ago, was terrible. Yes the other Dr has a 1 star. Dr. Lugo took his time withe me and I felt like is in my corner! I also sent two of my friends to him. He just did surgery on one of my buddies today, 12 placed needed the ablation done. Saved his life! The other Dr, through pills at him and said you'll be fine. IT MATTER WHO YOU SEE!

1st time
I was referred to Dr Lugo by my PCP. So far, I think he’s a great person & doctor. I think he’s one that’s very knowledgeable & in a practice with other great doctors as well. Will be returning to him to see him for a follow up appointment in a few months to see how treatment is going.

Amazing medical care!
I had such great care! I called an ambulance one evening for a SVT heart condition and had never had that happen before to me so it was very scary! The entire hospital staff was just tip top and the ENT saved my life right there in the ambulance. I would not have lived had I not had their care. My ER experience was amazing. Then I was given an appt quickly to see Dr Lugo and what fabulous help I got getting all the necessary information I needed to know. I learned exactly how to care for my body so this does not happen again. I was given great insights and great data. I loved my entire experience. I loved all of the staff who recorded my stress test and imaging staff. Thank you, Dr. Lugo!

Dr Lugo is who you want to see with heart rythm problems. He is specialized in this field PLUS he is part of the St Thomas Heart Group which is probably the best in this part of the United States.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lugo for the past 4 years. Besides his phenominal knowledge as a Dr., he also connects to his patients in a kind and practical way. My latest appointment was a follow up from last year and a check up on how I am doing.

Excellent Cardiac Electrophysiologist
Dr Ricardo Lugo kindly took me on as a patient in 2021 after AFIB began to become problematic. GOD blessed me richly when I was sent to Dr Lugo. My heart has proven to be ever changing in its rhythm and Dr Lugo stays on top of my problems. My recent visit was a 6 month checkup coupled with PVC and SVT. As always, Dr Lugo throughly examined my heart and arranged for additional heart tests. He is kind, listens, pays attention to your concerns. I recommend Dr Lugo highly. He is always in my prayers.
