Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Treated me for HPV cancer of thought and neck, he and staff are awesome ! Detailed, responsive, dedicated. And cancer free.

I can't say enough about Dr. Luginbuhl. He was my surgeon in September 2023. Because of his kindness and thorough care I was not at all nervous. All of my appointments with him have gone very smoothly. He and his entire staff are the best!

Dr. Luginbuhl is a skilled and compassionate surgeon. He calmed my fears and assured me he knew what to do and even explained what would happen during my surgery. . He took the time to thoroughly examine the lump in my neck and he answered all my questions. I entered the surgery with full confidence that he knew what he was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Dr. Luginbuhl is true professional that is really on top of his game. A caring and very detailed oriented doctor. More than willing to take the time to explain the treatments and great follow up right after the operation. I would highly recommend him to anyone inflicted by vocal cord cancer.

Dr. Luginbuhl was the third ENT I visited for a mass in my throat. He took one look at it pretty much knew immediately it was malignant. Eight days later I was in the OR having it removed. He was an exceptional physician and I felt extremely confident being under his care. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Luginbuhl is not only an excellent surgeon, but a kind and compassionate man. After my cancer surgery, he has been evaluating me on a regular basis for almost two years now. He always explains everything thoroughly, and has a way of putting me at ease. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Luginbuhl along with Dr. Joseph Curry treated my husband for a chondrosarcoma of the larnyx. They reconstructed his airway and voicebox using muscle and bone from his forearm. The surgery took 13 + hours. They worked tirelessly to and save his voice and swallowing function. We traveled 2.5 hours to see them. My husband is only 44. Drs. In our area would not touch him being that it is such a rare cancer. We are more then grateful for their efforts. Hoping and praying that when the stent comes out that he will have function again. They are both AMAZING! Also kept me well informed along the way!

Dr. Luginbuhl is by far one of the most amazing physicians I have ever come in contact with. I literally felt at ease for the first time in nearly 20 years dealing with paraganglioma tumors and how the gene mutation works within the family tree. He truly is special and not only takes the time in person, but I would not be surprised if he calls you every so often when in the midst of the follow ups. He is truly fantastic.

Dr. Luginbuhl is skilled and compassionate. He performed a surgery to remove a non-cancerous tumor from my parotid gland. He set my mind at ease from the moment he walked into the room. The surgery went very well and healed within a month. I am so glad I had it done by Dr. Luginbuhl and the Jefferson team!

After receiving a mandibulectomy in January 2018 we have returned for many appointments with Dr. Luginbuhl. We could never have gotten a better surgeon! His knowledge and personality far surpassed what we could have hoped for. We brag to all our friends and relatives about the exceptional service we have received. Call us "Very Greatful!"

Dr. Luginbuhl is extraordinary! Not only is he a fantastic surgeon but he’s compassionate yet straight forward and upfront with every aspect of my procedure. Never rushed, always on time and the most thorough examinations. He explained my surgery, what to expect and when to expect any side effects without fail! It’s refreshing to know ahead of time what to expect in your treatment!
