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.

Shoulder repair to fix 'Rotator Cuff Tear'
Dr. Lucas performed surgery to fix 'Rotator Cuff Tear' to my right and left shoulders. Prior to the surgery, I couldn't lift my arm and the continuous pain from both shoulders is unbearable. Dr. Lucs performed the surgery so well without causing any complications. Now I am able to do strengthening exercises without the fear of pain or despair. I am truly thankful to Dr. Lucas for making my shoulders fully functional and making me feel like a normal person.

Dr. Robert Lucas is excellent all around. Very engaging in his concern of my health problem. I couldn't thank him enough for the total knee surgery 2 years ago. He always clearly explains to me my health issues. My last visit with him was about my elbow. And I am very pleased that I consulted with him about it.
