Reviews
I highly recommend this practice and Dr Drake. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and personable.
I had a great office visit as I was able to ask questions about my condition relative to an upcoming trip & received invaluable answers. Dr. Drake took time to address each of my concerns.
I am very pleased with Dr. Drake and all of his nurses and office staff. They have all been very professional and helpful in dealing with my medical 🙄 needs! Thank you 😊
Dr Drake is knowledgeable, informative and kind.
Very nice people, procedure went great
The Staff was very friendly. They were kind enough to accept me although I was an hour late. It’s a great thing I did my prep correctly. Otherwise, I remember very little about the visit. I slept through the whole thing.🤔🙃🙃 I would definitely recommend their office.
Dr. Drake was very nice . I was nervous he calmed me down . My actual Dr. is Dr. Jacob . I would be fine with seeing Dr. Drake again . Dr. Jacob is serious but really nice also . The only thing I don’t like is it takes months to get back in after procedure .
Had internal hemorrhoid banding and Dr. Drake and staff were very professional! It was a very safe procedure done in the office under 30 minutes without any medication. I had no pain, only some discomfort. I would recommend him to everyone!!
Dr. Drake took very good care of me and listened to ky concerns.
Dr Drake is a great caring doctor, he has always listened to my concerns, very positive doctor which really helps with what I am going through. I wish there were more doctors like him.
I find Dr Drake to be kind and informative. He talks the time to listen and explain. Highly recommend him.
The entire experience was good. From the check-in to the nurses to the anesthesiologist to the doctor that performed the procedure all went very well and the people that helped me were people people and it’s good to work with others and not just so much technology.

Went in to see Dr Drake and he listened to everything about the symptoms I am having! Very thorough and insightful! Created a plan of action to see what is going on and how to treat it! Highly recommend!
Everything went smoothly. Dr. Drake did a fantastic job! All of the staff were great. I would recommend Lucas Drake to anyone who needs a colonoscopy and endoscopy!
Dr. Drake is a wonderful doctor! He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and personable. His demeanor puts you at ease and he listens intently to any questions you may have. This gastroenterologist’s group and their staff are top notch! Jackie Neace
Had an esophagus dilation scheduled at the Endoscopy Center at St Francis hospital having had many of these over the years for difficult swallowing I was familiar with the process . The nurses get right to it preparing you for the procedure appropriate questions are asked for your safety . Anesthesiologist will advise you of the sedation medication used and reassures you that it is safe and Dr Crane will do the same.also Dr Drake depending upon who does the procedure. At this hospital I have always had the safest procedures . Much gratitude for all at the Endoscopy Center at St Francis Hospital.
I think Dr.Drake is very personable and I believe that he knows his stuff. I have only met him about 3 times now but hope to change that. I am required to have a mid year office visit and hope to do that by scheduling with him. His physician assistants are equally capable but I think that you come to know your doctor better when you consistently schedule your appointments with them. I have my colonoscopies every two years. Seeing the same doctor makes a difference!
Dr. Drake is a wonderful and kind doctor. He really took the time to listen to me. He also takes the time to answer any questions and explain things. I was a bit nervous before endoscopy but he put me at ease.
Experience was exactly as I expected and all of staff was knowledgeable and friendly
