Earlier this week I had my first and last visit to the practice of Dr. Jason Luciano at his…read moreAspinwall PA Office. I was referred to him by my PCP to have a cyst removed. The procedure seemed to go well and I returned to my office. Once there I noticed that my back felt wet and, as you can see in the photo, the wound was leaking blood. I called Luciano's office and spoke with a nurse who I told I was back at the office and the wound needed attention. He suggested I get gauze and tape and apply it to the wound. I noted that I couldn't do it myself since the wound is on my back. What was I supposed to do? Strip to the waist and ask a colleague to do it? I then told the nurse I was immediately returning to Luciano's office. When I arrived the Physician's Assistant treated the wound and redressed it. I asked to speak with the doctor but was told he wasn't available and I could speak with the Office Manager. My conversation with her was, to put it mildly, highly unpleasant. I won't be returning to this doctor and I've made arrangements to have the sutures removed by my PCP.

I wish I could give her 10 stars! She is an amazing doctor and person! I was so tired of the…read moreregular healthcare model. I wanted one doctor that took care of everything, that actually knew me. The direct care model is exactly that. Low monthly fee, direct access to your doctor via phone, text or email, and next day appointments! One appointment at Medexpress would cost me $250 due to my high deductible. Now I never have to go to an urgent care ever again!

Looking for a primary care physician? You can't do better than Dr. March. She is, hands-down, the…read morebest PCP I've ever had! She always runs late for appointments (seriously, usually an hour or so). But she is well-worth the wait. She runs late for appointments because she actually spends time listening to you and talking with you. She never rushes you and will spend an hour with you if needed. She will never make you feel rushed. She is proactive on treatment of anything and also a registered nutritionist. She will never say "well, let's see if your leg falls off first before we do something". She knows your history, will take action when needed, and also give you a reality check even if uncomfortable. I am seriously dreading the day when I move away from Pittsburgh and have to find another PCP, because none have ever or will ever be as great as Dr. March. Definitely choose her and don't stress about the wait.

This doctor I would definitely highly recommend.

By shifting from the traditional "disease-centered" focus of modern medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms or diagnoses. Functional medicine is uniquely suited to uncovering and correcting these "root causes" of chronic disease with the ultimate goal being to prevent and reverse complex medical conditions - thus answering the question of WHY. Through our highly personalized functional medicine approach, we help heal on a deeper level by cultivating wellness and properly tending to symptoms in order to uproot disease and harvest lifelong vitality.

I tried to call the office twice, once at 0900 and again at 0930 letting the phone ring a solid 5 minutes each time and no answer. I then went down to the doctors office to find two patients in the waiting room ( meaning they weren't busy ) but still nobody can answer a phone!
