I have never been so happy working with such an amazing doctor as Dr Shari Lusskin. She has really changed my life for the better in so many ways, and there are not enough words to describe how thankful I am. I have been looking for a doctor for years on end, and finding Dr Lusskin was a blessing. She is truly so thoughtful, brilliant, understanding, kind, honest and so easy to talk to. I have been working with Dr Lusskin since 2016, and I have seen so many improvements in my life. She is the BEST and right doctor to consult with if you are looking for the right medication to help you. And she is especially unbelievable for pregnant women who are on medication. Dr Lusskin knows as much as my own gynecologist; and she is also so knowledgeable about anything else you would like to know about. My life has changed for the better since I met Dr Lusskin and I can not imagine working with any other doctor. If you are struggling to find the right medication that works for you, I would without a doubt work with her.
