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.

Professional
Dr. Luchetti was very professional and informative throughout. Did a great job taking care of my hand. Great staff as well. Procedure was quick and the office visits were scheduled quickly. It was worth the 2 hour drive. Everything was set up and scheduled within a week as opposed to two month's wait in New Bern. Thanks again staff and Dr. Luchetti.

Professional, compassionate, knowledgeable care
Had my first broken bone at 96. Dr. Luchetti did what was in MY best interest to facilitate healing avoiding surgery considering my health and age. What a fantastic outcome. It’s great to go to a doctor that sees you every visit and doesn’t use PAs or NPs. Would gladly go again if I live that long.

Highly recommend!!
After injuring my hand 6 months ago and getting no help in my hometown, someone recommended Dr. Luchetti to me. During my very first visit, he saw what was wrong and began immediately treating me with cortisone. It was totally life-changing after the cortisone. I wondered why the orthopedists in my hometown didn't see what he saw. Fast forward to now, and my hand is almost as good as it was before the injury....all thanks to Dr Luchetti. He is very professional, very thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. If you have any type of injury to your hand, I HIGHLY recommend that you run, not walk, but RUN to see him!!!!

Simply the Best!
Dr. Luchetti is kind, funny, personable and, most importantly, a terrific physician. I went in with shoulder pain and left with a thorough knowledge of the how and why of my disorder, as well as a full understanding of my treatment options now and in the future. I have worked in the health industry for 40 years; this guy is one of the best docs I have ever encountered. Extremely well trained in the latest surgical techniques, someone I trust and never have to worry about. Finally, the way he relates to patients is the way we all want to be treated. This is what healthcare should be like but sadly isn't.

The best hand doctor in Raleigh
I really appreciate the time Dr. Luchetti took with me to diagnose and explain the root cause of my symptoms and the potential treatment options. I also really appreciated how he recommended using the braces first before considering surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Luchetti.

Dr. Luchetti
From day one of my journey to repair my hand Dr. Luchetti has been wonderful. He is caring, informative, and clearly excellent at what he does. I’m two weeks post-op and everything is going well. I still have healing ahead, but according to him, my healing thus far is “textbook”. I would recommend this practice 100%
