After an eight year conflict free relationship he abruptly and without explanation unloaded on me and refused to care for my entire family. I'd like to believe it was a stress related issue but he was 100% unprofessional.

The receptionist was rude and incompetent. She entered me into the system as a female and refused to change it. (I am obviously a male.) I was given forms indicating that I am a female to present at the lab. This lack of professionalism is startling. I called to rectify the situation and no one answers. No one returns the calls, either. So, I wasted my time and I am unable to follow up with the needed lab work and tests. Outrageous!!!

Staff is very hard to deal with, will not listen to patients needs when insurance claims are questioned.

I have gone to Dr. Lucherini for years ONLY because he has helped my condition immensely. Waiting times are usually awful but he does spend an adequate amount of time with you when you do get in. Communication with office is nearly impossible, either unavailable or hard to understand. I do not go to him for specific well care as he has proved unsympathetic to increased concern regarding abnormal test results. Otherwise, he has done wonders for my asthma and has eliminated it from being an issue in my life.

Very long wait in the waiting room,not including the exam room. Have waited as long as an hour and a half. If I left I would be charged for a missed appt. Very arrogant attitude.

I looked for a doctor that had good skills and was on time. I thought that the doctor's staff did a great job getting me in to see Dr. Lucherini, and he spent as much time as I needed to answer all my questions. I am so glad I decided to change doctors to come and see him.

What a wonderful doctor! I have a child with a rare illness and he is the first to understand and care what is going on. He makes sure that my questions are answered 100% at every visit and always tells me to call if I think of anything else. He never makes me feel neurotic or like I'm wasting his time. Great bedside manner. I work in a medical office, and have recommended him to all of my patients. My whole family sees him now. I am constantly amazed by his wealth of knowledge. I have no complaints.

My parents have both been patients of Dr. Lucherini for years. I myself am in the medical field and it really amazes me that he can run an office like this. The entire office is rude,condecending completely inept. The Dr himself has become impatient and rude. My mother would rather go to the ED than call her own doctor! It'a time to go elsewhere. It's just a shame.

Biography

Michael J Lucherini MD MS has more than 18 years of experience in private practice.Dr. Lucherini was raised in Massachusetts and received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Brown University in 1987. During his undergraduate training, he also spent a year studying abroad at the University of Bologna, Italy. He then attended the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine where he received both a Master of Science in Molecular Biology and Bio-Chemistry in 1992 and a Doctorate of Medicine in 1994. He then brought his family to Arizona and began a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center and Phoenix Children's Hospitals in 1998.After completion of his training, Dr. Lucherini entered private medical practice and became owner and founding physician at the Arizona Institute of Medicine & Pediatrics, PLC in Mesa, Arizona. Over a 15-year span at AIMP, he and his partners built a thriving medical practice with more than 11,000 active patients.

The support for this new approach to his medical practice - from patients, other physicians, and the community at large - was so overwhelming that he has now partnered with experts to form Medicus Network LLC, a business with national impact to provide administrative, operational, marketing and consulting services to physicians who wish to establish or transition to Direct Access Medicine.Dr. Lucherini is fluent in Italian and Spanish and is proficient in American Sign Language.
