Appreciate him understanding of my pain and the diagnosis going forward.
Awesome and informative.
Dr. Lucas and his whole staff amazing as usual. So kind, loving and professional, I’ve never had a bad experience there. It’s always been awesome.
My own experience he is an excellent doctor
Dr Lucas is excellent. The scheduling methodology needs significant reworking. Scheduling a call to schedule an appointment is ludicrous. If the patient misses the scheduled call, the process starts over with weeks lost. So inconvenient, so unproductive, a punitive gauntlet, something a systems analyst wanna-be would come up with. Take a deep breath and ask yourself “does this make sense? A patient + a scheduler = a scheduled appointment. Period . 5 minutes tops. Please. If Dr Lucas wasn’t 5 stars. I would not be returning to CORE for any reason.
Professional with a very personal side to go with it. Very thorough!
Great Doctor he cares about his patience
Patience and understanding
The staff was great . Dr Lucas is the best he is always been very helpful to me he care for his patient
I saw Dr Lucas today for medication refills. He only filled one vs the two I needed. This is not the first time, not the 2nd or even 3rd time I had to call the next day and request the 2nd refill. It just makes me so mad!!!
