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.

I happily recommend Dr. Drake
I have seen Dr. Drake 3 times and he has performed 1 colonoscopy. He is through, provided a detailed report and provided suggestions for future care.

I would recommend Dr Drake,
He listened to my concerns and discussed my symptoms. He suggested forms of treatment and advised which he felt most appropriate. He asked that I follow up the visit with a phone call to let him know how I am doing. I found him compassionate and courteous.

New Patient Appt
Met Dr Drake for a new patient Appt and he was very nice and understanding. He listened to my long story while trying to put the pieces together and understand everything. I appreciate his time and hope he can help me figure out what is going on so I can get back to some kind of normal.

Dr Lucas Drake
Upon having a much dreaded but necessary procedure, Dr Drake alleviated any fear. I found him to be compassionate yet professional, thorough and efficient. I would not hesitate to seek his care for myself or my family in the future.

Good for me
Just a follow up visit shared concerns about my treatment brought up if I needed any refills I had forgotten about it so that was really good said to call if anything changes and to see how I was doing. A good visit and I trust his advice.

Great Doctor, Terrible customer service
Dr. Drake was great, but Indy gastro has terrible customer service!!! I was scheduled for a colonoscopy that was canceled at the last minute, because they said my insurance wouldn’t pay for it. They filed with the wrong insurance and I have not been able to talk to a real person about it!!!!!

I needed a screening colonoscopy. Dr. Drake was my physician. His prep instructions were very clear and the procedure was very quick. Even though I had multiple polyps, I had no pain or bleeding afterward. He explained everything he saw very clearly and I felt I had a good understanding of what the polyps indicated and what the next steps would be.

Although my first time meeting Dr Drake was right before my colonoscopy he seemed very personable and to truly care about my health. I will definitely schedule an appointment especially since my GI Dr just retired after being his patient for the past 20+ years. Looking forward to another 20 and remission.
