Overall great first experience with Dr. Luna. The staff was so kind and efficient and the visit with the doctor was not rushed whatsoever. Got into deep conversation and he genuinely cared about making sure we had all our bases covered. Helped me diagnose something I never knew I had with the utmost professionalism and compassion.

During my initial appointment, Dr. Luna came in and started talking to me like he has known me for years. He asked questions pertaining to my diagnosis that showed he genuinely cared about my well-being... to put it plainly, he didn't just write a prescription and send me on my way. I appreciate the *genuinely* personable nature of Dr. Luna. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. I can not forget the support staff for Dr. Luna as they were all friendly and worked to ensure that every patient that came in was taken care of in a timely manner. Michelle (sp?), who was at the front desk, greeted me and every other patient that walked in, even if she was handling other tasks, and gave a clear, quantifiable wait time. She was calm and adorably sweet, even when neither her system nor printer were working for her. I'm grateful to have found Dr. Luna's office.
Verified patient
Not my first pap but every time I’ve been seen by an obgyn they at least tell you to take a deep breath or give you some kinds of heads up before checking. He just went right for it.
He is amazing
Verified patient
I love Dr Luna—very knowledgeable and he listens to your concerns. He will sit with you and talk never rushes you!!! I recommend this dr!!!!
Verified patient
The Dr. was very thorough. He was pleasant to speak with. Nurses were also very pleasant . Received all referrals and lab orders immediately. They are very efficient.
Verified patient
This was my first time meeting Dr. Luna. My past experiences at a doctors' offices sometimes felt rushed and perfunctory. Not that I had any doubts about the doctors' assessments, advice or anything (and I respect the legitimate hurry and time-crunch that can come with that sort of profession), but this visit showed me that those past visits really did lack a personal, empathetic touch that can come from slowing down a bit (or a lot). Even though I was told in the waiting room that things were running behind schedule, Dr. Luna took what seemed in my experience like an unusually great amount of time to talk, get to know me a bit, give advice, and address my concerns and that really stood out. My insurance is about to change, but I intend to come back in the future if possible.
Amazing doctor
Verified patient
Luna suggested that I consider weight loss surgery and fat shamed me. I appreciate being told that he was concerned about my overall health and should consider a change to my diet, but I felt that he went over the line, was shameful and unprofessional. I left in tears. Telling people that are overweight that they need to lose weight, and that they are morbidly obese is not helpful. We are plenty aware of how fat we are. I was not seeing him regarding my weight. I will not be seeing him again.
He asked all the right questions and listend and made good suggestions. His office staff were good and helpful. Glad I chose him
Verified patient
The waiting time was pretty quick. Was in and out the doctors office within an hour and a half. Doctor was very thorough with his questions.
Verified patient
To be honest I don’t know how I feel about Dr. Luna. He seemed very nice and he was thorough but something about him just didn’t click. I told him that I was sick in the past and that I was young when I got sick. He seemed so shocked and couldn’t believe it. I didn’t need that I need answers and ways to overcome the after effects. Like I said he was very nice and polite.
Verified patient
Staff members were nonchalant. I got there at exactly 2pm for my appointment and all the lady can say is reschedule because of a paperwork I finished in 7 minutes. Because she wanted to go on break. Shameful and unprofessional of a caregiver.
Verified patient
Was my first visit- doctor listened and took his time with me. Felt like he genuinely cared. I have not had a primary doctor in town but will definitely be back from now on.
Verified patient
Dr. Joseph is definitely a professional who does actually what his bio says, "HE LISTENS". My visit was my first and although I had a lot to discuss about my health & how I got to this point of my diagnoses; he was excellent and gave me honest diagnoses. The staff was pleasant, office was immaculate and I was pleased. It felt as though I had been a patient for many years! Thanks for everything to you & your staff!
Verified patient
One of the best medical experiences I’ve ever had actually. He was very thorough, intelligent and caring... he didn’t just rush in and out. Instead he made me feel like I was the only patient he was worried about at the time.
Verified patient
This was the strangest appointment I’ve been too. Did not talk about my symptoms, but instead asked me a lot of personal questions. Again, very strange.
Very professional kind caring person
Verified patient
Dr. Luna was a consummate professional. He was very easy to talk to, and addressed all my concerns during the visit. His staff does a tremendous job of setting you up for him to come in and knock the visit out the park.
