Dr. Lusa is en excellent provider, she is skilled and patient focused.
Good
Dr. Lusa checked me thoroughly as to my Lupus signs and always does labs to show how I am doing. She is very prompt in sending me my lab results and explaining what was found pertaining to my health issues. I would always recommend her to any one.
She listened well. We discussed my health issue and determined a plan.
Dr Lusa always listens and I always feel that she cares.
I recommend this practice all the time. Dr. Lusa is really great. Not just a Doctor but a partner in this journey of autoimmune.
