Dr. Lucas has been my surgeon on 3 occasions and I think she is the BEST. I would not have any other doctor perform Mohn Surgery on me. She is concerned for the patient's comfort and strives to provide the best treatment possible. I have another treatment coming up shortly and obviously she is my choice. She is a Goodwill Ambassador and an excellent reflection on the Cleveland Clinic.
