Michael Lucia, MD

How refreshing to find a Dr with old school values. One who listens, looks at his patients while they are talking. Basis his treatment on each individual patient, not on how many drugs, tests, or labs he can order. He digs to the root of the problem, orders what is needed, and then digs deeper to stabilize his patients. I am so happy that he has come to NM, and hope he has a long stay here. He is a credit to his profession!

o not use this doctor! I think he may be off the deep end on a few things. Switches statements, rude, arrogant, demeaning, negative. My way or the high way attitude. Truly a shame, because you are there for help. Stay away unless you want a good tongue lashing. I really feel sorry for his staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lucia's for over 3 years now. He is extremely competent, thorough and knowledgeable in his practice. He always takes plenty of time with me to address any issue, answer any question, and keep me informed about issues affecting me. He can be direct at times, but I am not the least bit put off by this, actually, I appreciate it. He is passionate about the care he provides and he genuinely cares about my well-being--which is really what is important, I wish more doctors cared about their patients this much. I trust him and wish there were more doctors like him. He takes his practice and his care of patients very seriously, but the truth is, he is very personable and has a sense of humor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lucia's for over 3 years now. I think he is great. He is very thorough, very knowledgeable, takes plenty of time with me to address all issues and answer any questions. He can be very direct at times, but I'm not the least put off by this, I appreciate it, actually. He is passionate about the care he provides and he genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients--which should trump any sensitivity to "directness". I wish there were more doctors like him.

A very competent, bright and direct practitioner. He is very intellectual, provides a complete print-out of the data from my memory card and discusses the findings with me. I think he is great! He will reward you wth an honest, straight-forward and direct approach--just what I wanted and expected. He often had to present 'tough info' in a way that made sense to me. He is reality based style which may seem to be lacking the 'warm and fuzzy' but I learned he does care, I have been with him about 3 years

Arrogant and unprofessional. He doesn't deserve your business.

Abrupt, condescending, unprofessional, and on and on! You are already having problems and that is why you are there and he just makes you feel worst. Changes stories in between visits. Please check all the web sites they are bad reports.

He has diagnosed my husband with pulmonary occupational asthma and vocal cord disfunction with out him my husband probably would of died. He got severe chlorine burns of his lungs and vocal cords. Theses are things that without a diagnosis a workers comp claim would,go no where. He has given my husband hope for a future even though the illness is incurable he atleast has the techniques to make it threw everyday life not terrified of not being able to breathe. If you have a serious breathing problem he will find it if its,not an actual breathing problem he will point you in the right direction such a vocal cord therapy, or speach therapist. And sometimes seeing a specialist takes a while i see specialist of my own for my illnesses and the waiting room is always a long wait but thats part of seeing a,good Dr they have alot of patients and if you want to see him its worth the wait.

Lucia is the worst doctor in the world. I took my grandmother to see him and was told it is my fault that she has problems with her breathing. Lucia refused to give her meds that she needs to be able to breath unless she pays $400 for a sleep study . I did over react and call him a piece of poop but he deserved it. worthless doctor with little man complex.

All i can say is that today after sitting in the office for 20 minutes after my appt time i politely approached the receptionist who told me that there were 2 people ahead of me. Mind you this was for an appt at 9:45 with the office closing at noon. She said he is always running behind and that this is the way he runs his practice! Also, this is the 2nd time that i drove all the way there and had to leave due to work commitments. Also, I asked for a copy of my sleep study and was told that i could not have it because he would review it with me at my next appt. I said that was fine but i still wanted it in advance. I never got it and now will formally request it under HIPPA. Unbelievable.
