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.

After traveling 3 hours for the appointment and waiting for him for an hour and 35 minutes, we ended up walking out of his office. He came into the room, never apologized for the long wait and very rudely told me to sit down! I replied that I couldn’t sit because I was in pain. He then started yelling, telling me, “ Get out of my space, Dude! You’re in my space! I don’t like people hovering! You’re making me nervous!” The whole time, he never looked up at me and had his head in his hands as if he was having a breakdown. Well, needless to say, I was not going to allow someone in this state of mind to perform surgery on me! My sister, who is a nurse, and I left the appointment. This man has a problem and should not be seeing patients, let alone performing surgery! He is a loose cannon and we saw it first hand. To make matters worse, I never even received a phone call or an apology for this treatment. I intend to go further with this. No one should be treated this way, ever.

He squeezed me in between appointments and ended up spending over an hour with me. He also listened well and treated me with respect. Really nice bedside manner overall. Additionally, he explained my herniated disk and surgery so we understood and felt confident.

I contacted Dr. Lunardini after spending two years dealing with neck pain. I had constant pain and numbness and I needed a doctor I felt comfortable with and had confidence in. After an extensive search I found Dr. Lunardini and from the first visit I knew I had found someone to put my trust in. Nov.of 2016 he performed ACDF w/ posterior fusion on C3 thru C7. He took the time to explain in detail what I should expect after surgury. All went as planned and I couldn't be happier, thank you.

I have moderate to severe L5 S1 disk herniation/severe sciatica. Additionally, I have multiple health issues. I need surgery but because of my health issues, it places me at a greater risk for complications so his no. 1 concern is my safety. He exhausted all types of non-surgical treatments before he mentioned surgery, which is my last resort. During my visits with him, he fully explains everything and is open, honest, and proven to be very trustworthy! He is by far the best!! Thank you so much!
