"Dr. Lucente is very knowledgeable, courteous, and understanding. He looked at my overall picture and really improve my quality of life, something I am so grateful for. After numerous attempts and six long years of telling doctors that something was not right, I was overwhelmed with many emotions when within minutes he knew it was wrong. I would refer him to anybody."
