Dr. Lauracuente is a wonderful, caring individual.  He and his Staff are very friendly and do everything to help you.   I do recommend Dr. Laracuente to anyone looking for a PCP and/or Pulmonologist.  The wait time is usually less than 10 minutes.

Overall Rating: 2.0 2024-04-25

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a practice.  Dr was great with a good bedside manner and listened, asked questions and explained things to me.   That was the first visit.   Ordered tests, oxygen several prescriptions, therapy etc.   Office staff was rude from the first minute we arrived.  some of the rx was not covered and the pharmacy tried and so did i calling 6 times with no return call.  The the oxygen comp calls me saying the dr is not responding  to them after 4 tries on what ML i needed.   I can go on and on  same thing with the respiratory therapy office  no answers.   Then i get bills  and call my ins company and they said i am not responsible for them because they billed incorrect codes or something.  again no response.   Now last week after almost 2 years i get a bill.
