I have recommended friends to call as they needed a dr. We are very pleased with Dr. Lucas and his staff. The only question is have is I called the after hour nurse, cause I got stung by a bee, and wasn't sure if I was allergic, I did not get a call back by the nurse until the next morning. Otherwise I have always gotten excellent care.
