Dr. Lucks went over my test results, explaining them in terms I could understand, and took the time to answer my questions. He did a thorough job of outlining recommendations and next steps. If he was running a little behind schedule that day, he did not shortchange me when it was my turn. I felt like I had his full attention and I did not feel rushed.

Dr. Lucks is one of the best doctors I've ever seen. He was kind, thorough, and spent plenty of time explaining what he thought might be going on with me and offered lots of potential explanations about causes and where things might go. I never felt rushed and he answered all my questions (and I had a lot!)
