Dr. Lukens is the best! Any time I've had an issue she will fit me in immediately, she is easy to talk to and she genuinely cares about how you are feeling. She is never condescending and doesn't judge. I have recommended her to several friends and they have all had the same experience.

Dr. Lukens is amazing. She is professional and caring and gives you a lot of time. The office is well kept and she is extremely friendly, along with the rest of the staff. I only had to wait 15 mins. for my appointment and that was because I came in late about 10 minutes. She gave me numbers that I could reach her at and told me all the procedures I needed to know for my pregnancy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an OB/GYN in the Chicago area.
