  • When I see the doctor, they never go follow up with me. It's how is my symptom and how is my result. This is what I always think about MGH. It's very not trust. Because when I see the doctor, it's a different doctor. And the doctor never go call me and update with my itch. So that's why I have to see three different doctor and never get result, never get solved my problem. I just don't want it, don't like it.

She has stayed by side to get me through this and she provides total body skin checks for cancer for me to help with my P53 gene problem. I have been seeing her for about 17 years and I can't begin to tell you how much I rely on her as my dermatologist to find cancer on my skin. Dr. Lorenzo is a an extremely high value doctor at MGH.

    2025-10-30

  • Dr. Lorenzo and her staff were exceptional! I was the last patient of the day and they did not rush me, took plenty of time to complete my operation even though the reception desk had closed, and they had had a very busy day. I am very thankful that I had Dr. Lorenzo and her staff operating on me. Also my stitches.... Definitely look professional.

    2025-10-29

  • I really like Dr. Lorenzo. She's smart and very nice, and she listens well so her communications are generally right on target. I know doctors are under huge time constraints these days, but I hate feeling like I have to hurry up and ask my questions before the time is up or worse, I'll forget something on my list. Dr. Lorenzo keeps this time pressure mostly under control, but it's clearly present. It's unfair what MGH expects from their very overworked physicians.

    2025-10-26
