"I have been seeing Dr Luggen for almost 30 yrs and I have found him to be very caring and he always makes me feel comfortable and unrushed... The first visit was wonderful, all other visits I saw Dr. Luggen less than 3 minutes... follow-up visits took 3 MONTHS to book!"
— Vitals (Dr. Michael Luggen)"I waited for this appointment for three months just to be completely dismissed and invalidated. She wouldn’t allow me to explain my symptoms or medical history without talking over me or completely ignoring me."
