I have been going to Dr Lanza for 24 years. I can call him day or night and he will return my calls. He’s empathetic and very thorough and kind. He always spends time with you going all over your health problems and your concerns.
It is very difficult in these times to find a doctor. That is so good and reliable as Dr Lanza.
If I had a rate Dr Lanza one to 10 he would definitely… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Lanza
There's no one moment but rather a pattern of care over many years. My husband and I have been patients of Dr Lanza for many years. We trust him because he listens patiently -- and respond so quickly -- to us when we've had health questions or issues. He is sympathetic to our aches, difficulties with losing weight, challenges with heart disease, and breast cancer. May God bless Dr… See more
Both my husband and I are patients of Dr Ralph Lanza. From the very beginning of our relationship, we felt that he was competent and thorough, caring, trustworthy and personable. He took the time to evaluate all our complaints and concerns. It was such a positive and different experience from what we were accustomed to. And Dr Ralph even gave us his cell phone number in case we had an… See more
I have been going to Dr. Lanza since before he was an MDVIP doc. I think I can honestly say that all of us who are his patients think he is the absolutely best doc in the world and we all think he treats each of us as if we are his only and most important patient. He is the most amazing physician I have ever met both in expertise and bedside manner and true sincere caring about his patients.… See more
I have been a patient of Dr. Lanza for over 25 years. He is the most caring and concerned doctor I have ever known. During one of my visits, I happened to mention in passing if he would look at a spot on my leg. Without hesitation, after observing it, he was on the phone calling a dermatologist for an appointment for me. The dermatologist determined that I had a melanoma and was scheduled… See more
What I love about Dr. Lanza is that I am a partner in my own health and well-being. My thoughts matter, my choices matter, my input matters and Dr. Lanza works with me in creating my health, and health is something you must create through a healthy lifestyle. I never feel that he just tells me what to do or what should be done without asking me my thoughts. He considers my input very seriously… See more

Now at this point I had just switch to MDVIP at another location but life changes guided me to Dr. Lanza. My first visit he got me to the people I… See more
I had been bothered by congestion for a few months in the spring of 2017. Dr Lanza had seen me and treated me for the congested feeling I had. About a month later, after returning from a vacation, I contacted Dr. Lanza again telling him that my symptoms had not gone away, and made an appointment to see him. The morning appointment turned out to be more than a checkup. He again asked me what I… See more
