Unfortunately, there was a technical issue with our virtual visit. I called the office and they were able to schedule a phone call with Dr. Luther to rectify the situation. So other than the technical issue, which I don't think bears any weight on MGH or the staff, the appointment was perfect.

I'm extremely impressed with just how prepared Dr. Luther is for each and every office visit and procedure that I've had with him. He's also a wonderfully warm and outgoing person and you very much look forward to seeing him, catching up with him and really appreciate his embrace of you as a person. He's interested in you and what you're doing outside of the clinic and the hospital and how life's going and really just makes it an enjoyable experience to see him as a provider.

MGH being a center of excellence gives myself and my family such a sense of relief and support . I can not imagine not having MGHG and it's staff to care for me and my family.
