Dr Lucas did my (total knee replacement) surgery assuming I would go home after as most do, I was there for three days (Fri,Sat,Sun) and he was there when I woke up and before I went down in the evening. He didn't have to, nor did he have to keep me but he did, that is the difference between a good doctor and a great surgeon, one I'm sure is in high demand.
