Dr. Anabel Lucanie, MD 470 Franklin Turnpike, Ramsey, NJ 07446

"I will start by saying that this review is long overdue. My mother has been a patient of Dr. Lucanie for the past year and we are pleased to know she is in very good hands. This past December my mom presented symptoms that merited an emergency surgery. Dr. Anabel was present during the whole process, quickly diagnosing her, remitting her to the emergency room promptly and choosing a great surgeon for her. She is attentive to detail, compassionate as can be and always answers her messages personally. No question is too little because her care is genuine. THANK YOU Dr. to you and your staff!!!!"

"Dr. Anabel Lucanie is wonderful! I have been going to her for over 20 years because she truly cares and is very empathetic person. I have also seen other doctors at this practice that are also terrific. I find the entire stall friendly and professional."

"Dr. Annabelle Lucanie is a wonderful & caring doctor. The staff is friendly and helpful."

"She is the most empathetic, truly concerned, good bed side manner and the MOST REQUESTED Dr. In this area. She is down to earth and easy to talk to, but wait time to get to see her may be months. She will refer you to a specialist, the best in their field if you ask her. I dont want to really share her, but I will if I can help someone else in need out. She has been my life's blessing!!!!"

"Beware the billing practices of this office. I went to the office for a well visit which is covered 100% by my insurance company. At the time of scheduling the appt, at the time of confirming the appt, when I was in the exam room with the nurse for vitals, etc, and finally when I was with doctor herself I let every person know along the way that I was there for a well visit and did not want ANY procedures or tests done that were not covered under my plan for a well visit. I declined a hearing test, an EKG, etc. for fear that it would not be considered part of the well visit. I made sure my blood was drawn the same day and urinalysis as well because my plan requires them to all be done on the same day. In other words, I did my homework and was an informed patient and consumer. Well, lo and behold , I get a bill that states IN ADDITION TO THE WELL VISIT I WAS CHARGED THE SAME EXACT DAY FOR AN OFFICE VISIT FOR AN ADDITIONAL $130.00.!!! When I spoke with the billing dept. at Dr. Lucaine's office , Barbara stated that it was because prescriptions were written and a referral was made to another doctor. I was shocked. I am 49 years old and have been seeing an internist for over half of my lifetime and never once has this happened. These people are underhanded. Everyone smiles and nods their heads as you express your concerns and not one of the 4 people I spoke with uttered one word to me about any possible additional charges at any time. They are deceitful. I asked to speak directly to the doctor to let her know why I was not keeping my appt. with her thinking she might actually care but the front desk person gleefully told me she would not interrupt the doctor for me even though I was requesting to speak with her at the exact time my appt. was supposed to be taking place. I then learned that doctor had 3, yes,3, patients scheduled at 5pm which was my appt time. Whether the doctor herself knows what is going on in her practice and condones and encourages it I do not know but these things usually start at the top so I have a feeling she is quite aware and doesn't care. It is clearly all about the money here and not the patients well being."
