Frank H Lucido MD

Meeting Dr. Frank Lucido was such a treat as he is an amazing man. His extensive knowledge and attentive nature made me feel completely at ease. He provided me a comfort of peace in knowing I was in more than capable hands. I’m so thankful my friend Felicia Carbajal took me to see him and lucky me since they are associates I was privy to join the two for a delicious lunch following my appointment. The depths of this mans sense of community is remarkable. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. Frank!

I went in to see Frank for my Medical Cannabis Renewal. Previously I had gone to compassionate health options, they were a complete joke. There are so many quacks out there prescribing cannabis, who have no idea what they are talking about. Frank is very knowledgeable, and I would recommend him to anyone considering medical cannabis. Its hard to find a doctor who is well versed in this subject, and if you need advice, he is definitely the right guy.

Dr. Lucido is a valuable resource within the Medical Marijuana industry and community.
I was very apprehensive about trying medical marijuana for pain control before and after spinal surgery. Dr. Lucido was a wealth of information regarding the components of the marijuana plant and what would be most useful/​helpful to me for pain control. I had no idea that you could use cannabis for pain control and not have to deal with the psychoactive component at all. I’m not sure if the regular «lay» person is familiar with the analgesic effects of CBD but Dr. Lucido took a lot of time to explain this component of the marijuana plant and allayed the fears I had of giving this medical treatment a chance.
Thanks Dr. Lucido!

Dr Frank has been my Dr for over a decade. He’s always been a good doc and helped me when I was in rough financial times as well. I’m glad I“m a patient of his and will return as long as he has a practice. His staff is very kind and helpful too.

I have been under Dr. Lucido’s care for medical cannabis for 6 years now. He and his staff are amazing and always make me feel welcome and relaxed during my visits. He is very involved in safe access to medical cannabis and is very knowledgeable. I recommend his services very highly.

I went to Dr. Lucido for my cannabis recommendation this year. He did a full exam and gave me excellent recommendations for how to use the medicine. The office staff is friendly and caring, and the office space is beautiful and well cared for.

Dr Lucido is a great Doc. he’s been my Doc for over 10 year and he’s alway available to help me if i need it.
Very friendly staff and alway fun to visit Berkeley.

I’ve been seeing Maria as my primary care person, since I first moved here in 1999 for college. She is just amazing and is as good as it gets in this day and age. I’ve had the 5-​minute pap/​annual exam and been rushed out the door at other places, but never here. Here, Maria takes her time and is concerned with my all around wellness.
Maria has helped me with everything from my regular annual care, to being an agent in helping me get excellent mental health care for my depression, and being a rock and advocate for me during a decade plus of chronic pain – including wonderful recommendations for specialists. She really listens and takes the time to answer my questions and follow up as needed.
The staff here is superb. Back when the office took insurance Daniella was so persistent in following up with insurance payments. Even though the office no longer takes insurance, I find the quality of care well worth the money. You can bill insurance yourself – the staff will help you with the codes you need – or if you have an FSA account through work that can help.
I am now both physically and mentally well, feeling the best I’ve ever felt in my adult life, and I thank Maria in large part ’cause she was the one constant in my tribe of health care professionals who kept track of the big picture of getting and keeping me well.

Doc asked me to write an update. Still a five star place, but unfortunately no insurance taken here anymore. I still have my annual exam and medical cannabis evaluation done. I can claim the fees on my FSA account and at least get reimbursed that way. I have an HMO PCP in San Leandro, but Doctor Frank is still the best gig in the Bay Area hands down. Still going strong, with no sigh of stopping, and I think I’ve know him as long as he’s been in practice.

Dr. Frank Lucido and Nurse Practitioner Maria Mangini are the best anywhere. I’d recommend them to anyone who’s looking for skilled, caring, respectful, informative care. They take the time to do a great job, and the staff is excellent. The location is very easy to get to by public transit, by car (there’s free parking) or on foot. They truly care about their patients and about the community, and have a holistic approach to health care that can’t be beat. I wouldn’t trade them for a million dollars. A more dedicated team of integrity you will not find.

I have been under Dr Lucido’s care for medicinal cannabis recommendations for ten years. He is thorough, understanding, knowledgeable and active in safe access to cannabis. This is not his only area of expertise; he has had a very successful Family Practice for decades. His nurse practitioner is also top notch, very in tune with women’s healthcare.
His staff is friendly and efficient. It’s like being with family who really care for you.

Dr. Frank and Maria are excellent primary care providers. They take incredible care with their work, and truly concern themselves with their patients well-​being. The balance between their approaches provides for an incredibly holistic health care experience.
If you want experienced, attentive and thoughtful primary health care, this is the place for you.

Dr. Lucido has been my primary care physician since mid 2001. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with him and his staff. The’re very professional. Dr. Lucido genuinely cares about his patients and his examinations are very thorough. He’s always been great about getting back to me if I call the office with question (s).

Doctor Frank and his Nurse Practitioner, Maria Mangini, are as good as it gets. They listen, they explain, they are knowledgeable and have integrity.

Dr. Lucido is a great doctor and an awesome person. I highly recommend him. His office and nursing staff is great as well and there is even a small parking lot at his building!

I went to Dr. Lucido once for a severe ear infection, and the very first thing he told me was that I needed to lose weight. And how I could lose weight through diet and exercise. Wow, I never thought of that, doctor! And thanks so much for telling me how fat I am. Because I had NO IDEA.
Now may I please have some antibiotics before my eardrum ruptures?
