Dr. Luster is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, her staff will be the demise of her practice. Her assistant is rude and the front office staff has little to no follow up. If you value your health, DO NOT VISIT THIS PRACTICE!

Worst decision ever going this office. I didnt pay attention to the bad reviews and Im definitely regretting it. My anxiety has increased tremendously dealing with them as a new patient for a short 2 month period. I never had to experience so much chao. Currently finding a new pcp for myself and husband. The lack of communication, no follow ups,hard to get somewhere on the phone about a one minuscule prescription needing approval. The nurses or whomever runs front office are liars and not trust worthy. They will brush you off and tell you anything just to get you off the phone. The front

I really use to like her a lot but now I have no choice but to go to another

I would never go back here. I was referred by a friend who has gone here for years. They took me at the last minute which I was so grateful. The receptionist was very rude she told me to step back out the door and read before I entered. After I read the note on door it said call the receptionist before entering. When I enter the receptionist started talking to me like a child. I finally got a chance to talk to Dr Luster.
