Dr Lucas herself is great - straight-forward, knowledgeable, thoughtful and so on. But her reception team and scheduling practices are terrible. The reception assistant and manager do not keep people informed of delays, and don't apologize or show care when folks have to reschedule due to those delays. As significant delays past appointment times appear to be extremely common, I don't know why they can't schedule better
She is approachable and will answer any/all questions. She may be direct to some, but I liked her directness as it was matched with empathy and care.

Her assistant took a week to get back to me, and meds were phoned in, which did not help. This went on for a couple of weeks, and I went downhill fast. She told me to go to the ER rather than seeing me. The steroids still did not help. Phone tag continued. After six weeks, I figured out that I had c. diff by... read more
Terrible staff that won't call with results or respond to messages.

No bedside manner, no follow through by her or her staff, misdiagnosis caused other issues, would not recommend for serious health issues
This Doctor was way overbooked. We've waited 4 hours to get the endoscopy done. Waste of half a day.
