“I start my review with Dr. Lira's promptness. I arrived early to my appointment, and Dr. Lira saw me almost 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment. We all know what that says about a provider - someone who respects his patient's time as much as his patient's medical history and treatment plan. Dr. Lira listened to all my concerns and took time to complete his exam, listen to my reasons for the visit, and explain his treatment plan. Dr. Lira communicates like a normal person, but he is simultaneously running those contraindications in his head. The overall impression of Dr. Lira was a physician who leads with kindness, listens earnestly, and instills confidence. ”

It's been a long time since i've had a PCP that seemed like they actually cared and took the time to answer questions.
I highly recommend Dr. Lira.

My experience was fantastic. Dr. Lira was probably one of the best doctors I’ve seen in my life. I prefer generally to not to go to the doctor but Dr. Lira is restoring my trust in the medical system.

Amazing doctor! I felt very comfortable and he was very attentive doctor. I had a pain in my abdominal area caused by a potential hernia and he was very attentive to the fact.

My appointment with Doctor Lira was great. He asked all the right questions, put my mind at ease, and his bedside manner was exceptional. I truly felty like he cared and wanted to help me reach my health goals. There was hardly any wait time in the waiting room, and reception was friendly, fast and helpful! The nurse who assisted with my blood draw was incredibly kind, patient and understanding as I'm very afraid of needles. I'd recommend to any family/friends for an annual check up or primary physician :)
January 5, 2026Simone G.Verified patient

November 21, 2025Christopher B.Verified patient
Dr Lira was amazing. Took care of all my needs right the way. Glad I changed him as my primary doctor. Highly recommend!
Also the staff was awesome!
November 7, 2025Giovanni B.Verified patient
Dr. Lira and team were awesome! From the moment I stepped foot off the elevator, the team made sure that I was well taken care of. The front desk team was warm and inviting which is not always the case in my experience. The nurse helping out thoroughly walked me through what I could expect during my visit and was so nice that it helped me feel more comfortable as a new patient.
Dr. Lira honestly felt like an old best friend that I haven’t seen in a long time since he was very friendly and easy to speak with about my health concerns. His questioning did not feel intrusive or judgmental which made it easier for me to know I was in good hands with my new doctor.
Overall, I would give Dr. Lira a 12/10 and highly recommend.
