URochester Medicine partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

Provider wanted to make sure that what she saw was in fact correct, so she left the room to bring in a urogyno who was working at that location that particular day. And he concurred with Dr Lucas.

Amazing experience! This was my child's first visit to a OB/GYN (at 17 for surgery follow-up) and they left asking if they can keep this provider when they get older and are ready for routine care. Excellent listener, excellent explainer, excellent judgment. Established trust very quickly. Couldn't be more happy

Amazing doctor, listens carefully and repeats important things back to me just in case. This is helpful because I get nervous and talk A LOT. It can get confusing for me to know if I said what I intended to say, or if I got distracted and didnt clarify.
