Dr. Lucchina did a Fraxel treatment on my face. She was careful and professional throughout the process and had instructions and a regime for skin care all ready once the treatment was one. I was apprehensive about the time it would take my face to heal and what I would be able to do during that time. The first few days my face was red and swollen but in one week my face was completely healed and looks amazing!!!!
Highly recommend Dr. Lucchina.

Dr. Lucchina is fantastic. She was able to help me with some stubborn acne that other dermatologists have been unable to clear. I have also seen her for some dark spot pigmentation and I'm very happy with the results. It is always easy to get an appointment and her pricing feels fair for the area. She is also very lovely to talk to. Highly recommend.

I went to Dr. Lucchina to get a milia removed near my eye, and unfortunately it left a faint scar (still there 6 months later). I have gotten milia removed in the past with no scarring, and this procedure was also more painful than past experiences. This is the main reason for my 2-star rating.
Some other impressions:
I waited in the office for >45 minutes, and then my time with the doctor felt very rushed - she did the procedure but was rushing out of the room when I asked her for an opinion on some other chronic skin conditions. Dr. Lucchina seemed very nice, just rushed (then again, she did

Had a minor procedure performed by Dr. Lucchina. At the time of my appointment I was promised that any follow-up procedure, if necessary, would be at no additional cost to me. Ultimately, a follow-up appointment was necessary, however, I was informed by Dr. Lucchina's receptionist that Dr. Lucchina had no recollection of our previous conversation during my last visit, she had made no notation in her file, and was not willing to honor her promise or give me the benefit of the doubt. I was told that a subsequent procedure would be the full $250. When I got to the office, I saw Dr. Lucchina sitting

I have had the occasion to be a patient of Dr. Lucchina for many years and have found her to be exceptionally caring, understanding and proficient. When Dr. L. removed growth from my neck, I had to visit a nurse for an unrelated matter, and the nurse remarked most favorably about the quality of the sutures and there is no scar.

I was traveling on business and had a terrible infection in my finger and needed to see a physician asap. Dr. Lucchina welcomed me to her practice and immediately fit me into her busy schedule. From the minute I walked into the practice I felt like I was the most important patient in her practice. Her staff was inviting and friendly, the practice is gorgeous, and Dr. Lucchina made me feel calm and welcome. She is a brilliant physician that listens and is highly educated. I was scared that my infection was dangerous, and she has an incredible bedside manner that made me feel safe and comfortable

I have seen Dr. Lucchina twice in the past few months for adult acne. I have found her to be extremely sympathetic and knowledgeable. She fit me in on short notice to treat a bad breakout with a cortisone shot, which made it go away very fast, and helped me find a course of treatment to manage my acne for the longer run. I never felt that she was rushing, instead she spent time asking about me in order to get to know me better as a patient. I also found the receptionist to be very nice, and the office is beautiful and clean and convenient to the Copley T station.

I would highly recommend avoiding this dermatologist. I had a mole removed that l was ensured would not cause scarring (l let her know I didn't want to do it if there was a chance of scarring). Months later there is a large scar. The after effects are literally worse than the original mole. To make matters worse, l was told to show the scar to her "during my husband's appointment". I did this, not asking any other questions about my skin because it was not my appointment, and was mailed a $100 bill. Worse again? She said she wasn't surprised by the scarring considering

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lucchina. I started going to her when she was at BWH, and was referred by my primary care provider at BWH Womens Center. She literally saved my life, removing a mole which later showed to be cancerous. That was probably 15 years ago. I continue to see her, have had several subsequent procedures with both her and her referral (plastic surgeon).
She is a consummate medical professional, top of her field, passionate and compassionate.
As for her staff, I find them to be professional, too.
TBH, I think anyone would be lucky to get into her practice as a

I had been to Dr. Lucchina years ago. My PCP gave me a referral which allowed up to 3 visits.
Upon arrival I remembered one of the reasons I didn't like going there. The receptionist, a dwarf like woman with a superiority complex was number one. About four feet tall with the ability to look down on you.
The Dr. ran late and was rushed. Perhaps she should allow more time per appt. And I feel like she wanted me to use up all three referrals whether I needed the follow up or not. My first follow up appt I waited 25 mins while she ran late and she looked at me for literally 20 seconds,

Everyone here was really rude. The doctor was late, seemed rush and not helpful. The room was also freezing cold (which she did apologize for.) When I asked a follow up question about how the medicine works she told me I should just google it. Seems like an odd answer for a doctor to give. Wish I'd read these reviews before going - the negative warnings were consistent with my experience, and I would have gone elsewhere.

I agree Dr. Lucchina is great! I don't know why people evaluate the people at the front desk so harshly. Who cares!? Yes the appointments are generally not long but she's also extremely knowledgeable and is able to make an accurate diagnosis quickly. She has been very helpful to me. I wish I could still go to her but I have a new insurance plan they don't take! :-/

My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Lucchina. I went to 3-4 appointments and each time my appointment lasted 5-15 minutes. The office is just very snobby. Dr. Lucchina is extremely abrupt and her little assistant was not pleasant to deal with.
On my last appointment, Dr. Lucchina told me that I had discoid lupus. She did not take the time to explain my condition to me and had the nerve to tell me not to google it because "it would freak me out". And just like that she kicked me out her office in less than 15 minutes. That was my last appointment with her. It is pretty ridiculous

I won't give it raving or horrible reviews (yet) because I haven't yet begun the treatment she gave me... however at face value (no pun intended) ha ha... it was a-OK. I got an appointment within a week of calling to make an initial which is amazing.
I arrived a few minute before my appointment and yes, the front desk people were generally meh; not the nicest but hey, it probably sucks to work a front desk job for 12 dollars an hour for fancy Back Bay doctors so I have some empathy/sympathy. They def. did the thing where they talked unprofessionally about their social lives in front

I absolutely love Dr. Lucchina. I started going to her two years ago because I had horrible adult acne caused by stress. Nothing, nor anyone had ever been successful. I always do a ton of research on my doctors (especially on Yelp) so I was a bit hesitant when I saw some of the previous reviews. Needless to say, I made an appointment and I couldn't have made a better decision.
Dr. Lucchina was aggressive in treating my acne and genuinely took my concerns and feedback into consideration while we modified treatment. I can say that I have not had a breakout in over a year and my skin it flawless

Dr. Lucchina is the worst, and most ineffective dermatologist out there. I saw her throughout high school, and she did absolutely nothing for my skin, was always late for appointments, and was overall indifferent towards helping me. My mother would also see her, and Dr. Lucchina would often times talk to my mom as if my mom were her therapist, reveal personal issues, and her family woes. Meanwhile, I'd be breaking out, suffering from acne, and she'd do nothing to help me.
I would be hard pressed to find a dermatologist worse than Dr. Lucchina. Overall terrible doctor, waste of time,

Dermatologists are impossible to get appointments with! I called MGH and they couldn't fit me in until fall. Dr. Lucchina was able to squeeze me in that same week and I didn't wait any longer than 5 minutes to see the doctor. She also had many products in the office for my acne-prone skin and had great suggestions for alternatives that I could buy at CVS. I wish it were this easy for me to see every doctor.

While I really like Dr. Lucchina, her assistant has a serious attitude problem. She is incredibly difficult to schedule appointments with and is generally snide. It's too bad because I think Dr. Lucchina is a great doctor. Unfortunately, due to this girl's demeanor and difficulty, I'm going elsewhere so I can be seen before October.
