After being called back waiting on Dr 35 minutes and counting. Ridiculous! Don't schedule appointments so close together since the they cannot keep them.

I had a hernia repair, along with diastasis recti repair. Him and Dr Sonny O did an amazing job and were so kind throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Dr.Lucas gave me more personal time than any surgeon I have met. I would feel confident in his hands at any time.

Dr Lucas was the surgeon on call when I was rushed to the ER in 2009. I underwent a very long surgery to repair my perforated bowl & spent several weeks in the ICU. Dr Lucas literally saved my life! A few years later when we were told our oldest daughter needed to have her gallbladder removed, we knew we wanted Dr Lucas to perform her surgery. Earlier this year when I was told I would need surgery to remove a portion of my small bowel, we requested Dr Lucas. During my surgical consultation he gave me the worst case scenario regarding the surgery. He told me to discuss my options with my family & to let him know if we had any further questions. I left his office with the information needed to make an informed decision. After surgery, Dr Lucas sat with my family & explained what he had done & what to expect during my recovery. During his daily hospital visits Dr Lucas would sit down & answer any questions my family or I had. He literally pulled up a chair & sat down eye level with us.… His visits never felt rushed. He made me feel like I was his only patient. Dr Lucas is a very caring down to earth person & amazing doctor. Ryan, his PA, Casey, his nurse, & his office staff are also amazing. They make a great team!

I've never been so disappointed in my life! Vital signs were falling immediately after appendectomy surgery and NOTHING was done! I'm so lost without my son! I pray you turn your medical career around for all other families! Mine will never come home!
