She's the best! Good listener, doesn't rush you, is very patient, tactful, & helpful in finding the best resolution to your problem. The only thing I dislike about this clinic is the long messages on the voice mail while you're waiting to get to a live person.

October 31, 2023Diana S.Verified patient
Dr. Lodescar is great. She actively listens to the patient & works with the patient to find solutions. She is personable & very kind & understanding & is a good doctor. My only complaint with this office is that when you phone, you're often on hold for many minutes (probably because they're busy, but it's irritating to listen to their recorded messages).
August 15, 2023Diana S.Verified patient
We love Dr Lodescar and her staff.
April 27, 2023Patricia K.Verified patient
Dr. Lodescar is the best primary care doctor I have ever had. My most recent appointment I got very sick while I was in the office and Dr. Lodescar and all of the nurses went above and beyond for my care.

Dr. Lodescar is fantastic - so glad I found her!

Dr. Lodescar is truly the best PCP I have ever had in my life. Acknowledges all of your concerns and is very knowledgeable with her responses
August 29, 2022Tara J.Verified patient
I have found a lifelong physician in Dr. Lodescar. When I first met her three years ago, she took the time to sit down to acquaint herself with my lifestyle, background, family and overall health. She took it all in and to this day remembers it all. With this information, I believe she's able to better treat me and make recommendations that will enhance my overall health. She genuinely cares about her patients and never rushes through exams.
August 25, 2022Francesca J.Verified patient
Dr. Lodescar is the best. She listens to everything I have to say and gives the pros and cons of any approach -- including multiple options within an overall recommendation. Love her.
July 2, 2022Arthur A.Verified patient
Dr. Lodestar is a wonderful doctor. She is highly intelligent & has a great personality; she listens, responds appropriately, will not administer drugs if they're not warranted. For example, on losing weight, she recommends diet rather than a drug-based intervention. I really am so happy that she is my doctor, after having a couple of pretty marginal people who didn't seem to have a particle of common sense (this was in Arlington, VA). I can't recommend her highly enough.
June 23, 2022Diana S.Verified patient
Dr. Lodescar is an amazing doctor who really cares about her patients. She remembers details even if you have not seen her for a while and really listens. I have never had a doctor who has spent so much time listening and talking to me about my health.

Dr. Lodescar is an excellent physician who examines every patient fully at every visit. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she takes her time with each patient while running basically on time. She would make a great primary care physician for anyone!
October 25, 2021Stephanie S.Verified patient
Dr. Lodescar exceeded my expectations. She was extremely thorough and did not rush through the appointment at all. I was actually shocked by how much time she spent explaining things to me and asking questions. I'm so glad I found her and will be recommending her to anyone who needs a GP in Stamford.
October 1, 2021Stacie B.Verified patient

The doctor I saw listened to every single concern I had, and addressed it. I've never experienced that before, they are amazing.
February 24, 2021Byron N.Verified patient
I hadn’t seen a primary doctor in a while and frankly I was hesitant to because I have never fully been listened to when I had concerns. But I had a great experience with Dr. Lodescar and her staff. She took her time listening to me and making sure I understood the steps following. I felt very comfortable with her.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
I loved my experience with Dr. Lodescar! She listened closely to my concerns and reassured me about them. I had a short wait and was seen on time and loved that I wasn't rushed at all. A great experience!
January 11, 2021Kelsey B.Verified patient
Dr. Lodescar is the best doctor I have ever had. I have a tiny fear of going to doctors especially as a black woman because oftentimes doctors don't listen to our concerns. Dr. Lodescar created an atmosphere where I felt safe and we talked and she did a lot of listening. And she gave me great resources. When my blood work results came back she gave me even more recommendations and told me what the importance of the values. She's thorough and kind. Her staff match her bedside manner and are wonderful people. I have already recommended her to 3 friends. Two have went ( POC and non POC) and said the same thing. Highly recommended
