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.

Well to respond to the negative review. We must consider that Dr. Lucas tends to surgeries in the am and comes to the clinic after and for those of you with no medical background his day is just like ours, we can't control or even know what will happen in the next moment, what if you were in surgery and something unexpected happens would you want Dr. Lucas to say I can not help because I got to get to the clinic, NO you would expect him to care for you. I said all that to say this, Be patience

This clinic is a joke! They scheduled my mom an appointment at 4 P.M. And it's 6 P.M. She hasn't even been called back! The receptionist left at 5 another patient left because he had been here since 2:30! Why schedule all these appointments when you know you are not equipped to handle them! Another lady made the comment well hopefully I can get out of here by 8 this time! If I have to take my mom back to Georgia for services with me I will this place I am at a lost for words!!

Loved how he broke my case down into a language I could understand!! He made me comfortable asking questions. He gave me details for what to expect with each scenario. I feel confident in knowing he will be my surgeon no matter what the case may be! The staff in his building is awesome and was very eager to meet my needs and made me feel very comfortable!
