Dr. Lykens and his nurse, Kelvey, were absolutely the best team I've ever encountered. In my experience as a registered nurse across 3 states and in my experience as a family advocate they were absolutely amazing in how they handled patient care. They were the model I wish medical practices would follow today. IU Health made changes that hurt this practice. I miss Dr. Lykens and Kelvey, and I feel the care my family member received after they left was far below what they had been receiving.

Dr. Lykens listens well, addresses your concerns and allows you to be involved in your treatment. He spends as much time with you as desired. He and his nurse, Kelvey are fun and make you feel very much at ease. HE IS THE BEST!
