Dr. Noel Manalac Lucas, DO

Do everything to avoid him. He treats only for what insurance will pay and not for the care the patient needs. Falsified his reporting saying he examined the patient when all he did was briefly listed to right side of the lungs. Confronted him about care he was giving and he deflected by saying “it wasn’t his speciality and to ask nursing”. Would ask what medical questions we had he would state that wasn’t his speciality. I asked what exactly his position was then he stated he was the general contractor that made sure all the wheels turned but yet when asked about looking at arm swelling or leg pain or labs he would never look. Came in and gave the wrong lab numbers. When asked about if he was treating for payment or for care his response was “in a perfect world”.

My Mom has cancer Covenant cannot find where her cancer is after a month they sent her to Covenat Mary Free Bed and this Dr upset my 80 year old mother 2 days in a row telling her that they need to change her to Do Not Resuscitate because she is terminal and it will not help her. My mom is doing well other than the fluid tetention . This man has no bedside manner.He has no business conversing with patients. He was also.talking to patients about their health not worrying about HIPPA not curtains or doors closed. He was doing his rounds rushing through patient after patient.
