Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Lucal is beyond amazing!!! She takes so much time with you , she is extremely knowledgeable , super compassionate , explains everything and makes you feel like you are her only patient that day. I highly recommend this spectacular physician!!!

She had the best reviews of all the gynecologists on the list my insurance company provides... but I couldn’t get past the attitude of the front desk to even make an appointment.

Dr. Lucal really listens to you when you speak. She doesn’t over complicate her explanations and makes you feel like you’re her only patient. I see other doctors in the same office, much of whom leave me with unanswered questions. I learned quickly to only book Dr. Lucal. My husband and I really hope she’s the one who delivers our baby, she is just so full of positive energy.

Dr.Lucal has been by far the best OB I have ever met with!! She is the only doctor at the practice who takes the time to actually read my chart before meeting with me at each visit I have with her. She is personable and very kind and easy going as well as knowledgeable and thorough while discussing anything with me. Dr lucal goes above and beyond with her patients and I truly hope she is the one to deliver my baby! I would reccomend her 100 times over.

I'm very disappointed with the professionalism in the office and trying to get a follow up or reach her is impossible. She's very nice but that only goes so far. I'd rather have a doctor be a bit rough around the edges but does an excellent job then an average(-) one with a smile and poor service. So I'm off to find a new gyn. It's really too bad but personality isn't the only factor, I want good healthcare.

I’ve already referred 2 of my friends to Dr. Lucal and I am praying for healthy beautiful baby and delivery with Dr. Lucal by my side. She has been the most reassuring doctor I have seen from this practice. Extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable, and personable. She takes the time to learn your personal history and is very helpful in assisting you through your OB GYN needs.

I'm a labor and delivery nurse and I switched to Dr. Lucal after working with her and getting a front row view of the type of physician she is. She provides excellent medical care to her patients, follows current up to date, evidence based practice; she's smart, caring and funny; and calm in an emergency. You couldn't ask for a better OB/GYN!

Dr. Lucal is such a great doctor ! She always takes time to sit and talk to me; get my medical history aswell as get to know me as a person. Even (years ago)when I had my first well woman exam with her I felt so at ease. She always takes the time to explain things thoroughly, and was respectful of my decisions. She is a very calm, caring and compassionate doctor. Dr. Lucal is a very smart woman, and I appreciate having a doctor like her to take care of me.

Cardio found a spot near armpit so I saw Dr. Lucal. The worst experience ever. Week 1 wrong test ordered, week 2 on vaca, week 3 got 2 calls telling me my mammogram was normal, I have NO breasts, images were 5yrs old I was offered a follow up but for what? No tests done! Week 4 didn't write correct order for ultrasound. Week 5 I walked away, I felt safer waiting 2 weeks to see someone qualified and takes patient health seriously. I have the BRACA2 gene, something you don't play around with

Cardio found spots where my left breast should be so I setup a visit. 4 weeks later, wrong test ordered, 2fon calls to tell me my mammogram looked fine, neat trick since I don't have any breasts,it was results from 5yrs ago. Another call to tell me ultrasound wasn't ordered properly. I left and willing to wait 2 weeks to see someone else. I have the BRACA 2 gene and this problem was def not a priority in anyway. I would NOT recommend! Look at all google reviews, I should have done homework!

She is by far the best OBGYN I have ever had. She's down to earth and makes you feel at ease. Takes plenty of time to answer all your questions.
