Dr Lucas is one of the kindest, most thorough doctors I have had regardless of the specialty. As an orthopedic surgeon, he is extremely knowledgeable and is clearly dedicated to improving the quality of this patient’s lives. I saw him five years ago when he cured an issue that had plagued me for years. I referred myself to him when a new issue arose recently.
