Dr Lucey is an outstanding surgeon. He did my knee replacement and my knee has been perfect since the surgery
Very rude and obnoxious guy who thinks he’s unquestionably right
I was very satisfied
He has ZERO bedside manner. He was walking out when I was still asking questions. I think of this for when I have to get surgery. Do I want to wake up to someone that is going to just walk out when I am in pain and asking questions?
Friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
He explained what he saw I. my MRI get gave
Had knee surgery by Dr Lucy, great results! Today’s appointment was the other knee…took time to explain the issue in my knee causing me pain.
Bed sides manners need improvement. Delivers scary bad news like it's everyday you hear it... Yes it everyday he delivers it but we only hear it once.
Easy and efficient scheduling. Prompt attention to me at registration. Went quickly. Saw the Dr promptly after I was taken to a room..
