I was very impressed with HSS. Every area of the hospital I visited was spotless, the grounds outside were beautiful. I was impressed with the how punctual the appointments were; they started at the exact time, which is rare! Dr Lovecchio was very warm, friendly and confident. I felt good about my Dr decision.

Dr Lovecchio and his PA Luca really paid attention to everything I said on top of being aware of some of my issues. They treated my wife and myself with total respect and seemed to really be concerned and wanting to help me! That goes a long way in my book! Let’s hope that they can continue in making me feel better!

I am having major surgery and greatly need my doctor's help. I feel he is extremely competent. I have worked as a CCRN for 45 years and found everyone at HHS to be very kind and compassionate. It is very stressful for me to do this alone since I am recently widowed. I feel as a healthcare professional myself, that I am in good hands. i understand how serious this operation is and pray it goes well. I am comfortable with HHS.
