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

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Lanza

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
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.

The morning appointment turned out to be more than a checkup. He again asked me what I… See more
