Reviews
Experience was exactly as I expected and all of staff was knowledgeable and friendly
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.
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!
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!
