I appreciated the perspective that Dr. Lanuti's years of experience allowed him in thinking about my case. I appreciate not being rushed into a possibly unnecessary major surgery, but rather gather more information with a bronchoscpic biopsy. This was different from what the first thoracic surgeon I saw suggested , and I appreciate it being offered this as an alternative. Thank you, Dr. Lanuti.

Dr. Lanuti was in the operating room at the time I had scheduled, but he had carefully looked at my MRI and he had talked to the nurse practitioner about it and she talked to me and given that there was no change in my situation and that it looked benign, I really didn't need to talk to him, but I appreciated how carefully he had prepared his comments even when he couldn't be there.

Short and sweet I owe Dr. Lanuti my life....he has performed surgery on me twice over a 6 year period, and I have follow up with him yearly...I trust him more than any physician I have ever had...despite his busy schedule I know he is personally assessing test results which assures me I am getting the best medical opinion.

I just wanted to say that I had a great experience overall with the Mass General Hospital team, especially my doctor, Dr. Lanuti, very professional, very knowledgeable, and was able to explain everything to me step by step, which really comforted me. I also want to give a shout out to the anesthesia team, as well as the nurses in PACU, all very kind, all very compassionate, and definitely very patient with me since I was very nervous. First experience with Mass General for me, I was a tough patient. So for me, it was just overall wonderful experience that I had. And I will not be returning anywhere else because of it.
