I have been consulting Dr. Lucas for close to three years. I meet him once every year for annual follow up for a suspected Glaucoma. 

He is a very kind and humble person. He always explains in the detail about the findings. He compares the findings with previous visits and provide a plan on what he is going to look for during my next visit.

His staff at Kresge eye institute in Detroit are also kind.
