Dr Loughney is very professional, friendly and she obviously listens carefully during your visit. I am very comfortable discussing my health issues with her because I know she will not criticize me and will be sympathetic and recommend well thought out and practical solutions. She is a great doctor and I’m lucky to have found her.

For my first time visit and having never met Dr. Loughney before, she was amazing! Her entire staff was amazing. I was frightened and a little lost with a chronic medical situation I'm having and she sat and talked with me at great length putting me at ease. She then called a specialist, on my behalf, Dr. Martin Kolsky, and I was in his office in less than an hour later. Currently I awaiting results from several tests Dr. Kolsky had scheduled for me and his return from vacation. Once I meet with him and get the results, I would like to see Dr. Loughney for a follow up. I very much appreciate all the efforts Dr. Loughney and her staff have done for me to get this situation resolved. Thank you so very much.

Dr. Loughney paid attention in all details aà had to share, and believe me, there were a lot. She explained me everything and asked for additional exams. What I liked most was when she in person returned me with the lab results. This is unique and I really appreciate that.
July 25, 2019Veronica R.Verified patient
In my 32 years, I've never been treated by a more patient doctor. Not once did I feel rushed or uncomfortable. So happy I found Dr. Loughney here on ZocDoc. I can see why she has 5 stars :)
June 26, 2019Kim A.Verified patient
Extremely professional well experienced doctor. My appointment was exactly on time and the inhouse lab was very convenient. Great bedside manner as I do not do well with giving blood.
June 13, 2019Initials hidden
Dr Loughney spent more time with me than any other physician I’ve seen in the area. When I told her I wasn’t good with giving blood, she stayed with me the entire time and did her best to keep me distracted.
Overall, a good experience and would recommend her to others.
June 11, 2019Tyler D.Verified patient
I’m so glad I found doctor Loughney. I highly recommend her. She spends time listening at your appointment, puts care and effort into analyzing symptoms, and goes above and beyond to help.

I was a patience of Dr. Loughneys a few years ago and when she left i was devastated. I was so happy to see her back in my network I could've cried. Dr. Loughney listens, she communicates in a way that lets me know she understands and that she wants whats best for me and my health. She is very attentive and makes you feel like you are the only thing that matters during your appointment time with her. She is definitely God send. Thank you so much for being such an awesome dr.

January 2, 2019Mary Lee M.Verified patient
I had such a good experience at Dr. Loughney's office. I did have to wait almost 30 minutes to be seen, but everyone from the doctor to her medical assistant to the phlebotomist made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Loughney was thorough and personable. Would definitely visit her again.
November 30, 2018Gwendolyn S.Verified patient
This was my first appointment with Dr. Loughney. She was very attentive, took notes while I talked, addressed all my questions thoroughly, and really seemed to listen. She actually spent all the time necessary for a thorough appointment (as opposed to most doctors that limit their visits to 10-15 min) and did not seem in a rush. She seemed very knowledgeable and trustworthy.
September 11, 2018Gloriana E.Verified patient
This was one of the best drs I have ever seen. In the age of shuffling patients out the door as fast as possible, I was examined in the office for about an hour. Dr Loughney was able to answer questions that no other dr had been able to answer and was very thorough in her analysis and examination.
More than 1 year agoVibha B.Verified patient

I thought Dr. Loughney was fantastic. Really personable and very caring. She was running a bit late and her receptionist came out to let me know and gave me a choice to wait or reschedule. In the end she was only slightly later than my schedules time.

I have seen her twice and both times she was exceptional. She seems to really care about her patients and takes the time to listen to everything that's going on. I wish they accepted my insurance but she does not advise her patients to take unnecessary tests.
More than 1 year agoElizabeth M.Verified patient
She was great and so attentive. Everything was really efficient since blood work could be done in the office. I was paying out of pocket because she was not in network for my insurance, and she was cognizant of that and tried to limit the tests done to what was necessary so that I wasn’t hit with a huge bill. Definitely will go back.
