Dr. Lustbader has been.my internist for many years and has directly improved my overall health in very pronounced ways. I had high cholesterol, type II Diabetes, HBP, Arthritis, spinal stenosis, and other issues. He has treated me and referred me to specialists on every problem and I now have normal lab results on all. I feel great. He is very knowledgeable, concerned, personable, and dedicated. I am very fortunate to call him my doctor.

Flutters about from one exam room to the next not knowing what patient he is with. Records medical info of other patient while in exam room with you. Then rushes you. Oh and another thing practically every patient leaves with a prescription whether needed or not.

In the 15+ years I've been his patient, Dr. Lustbader has saved my life--twice. I consider myself very fortunate to have him as my PCP. He's a good listener, and responds to my questions and concerns in a way that shows he respects me as an intelligent human being--rather than just a member of a particular insurance plan.

Great experience with this doctor. Found him to be warm, compassionate and concerned. Diagnosis was accurate and follow-up after having a procedure done was good.

He will keep you waiting over an hour and then review your chart, have someone take your blood pressure and then prescribe some medicine. Does not seem to listen to your concerns,acts like he is late for a golf outing.
