"Mr Lucas was excellent at explaining the procedure prior to my daughters operation. He was very reassuring and that the operation would be the best outcome for the longterm. We felt he was very knowledgeable and felt very confident with his expertise. After the operation Dr Lucas was so attentive he would visit every day at even at 6 am on a Sunday to ensure my daughter was making a good recovery. He went above and beyond the call of duty and we both felt comforted by his constant visits. The operation has been a huge success and my daughter is delighted with the results. We would highly recommend Dr Lucas and already have to friends."

Patient Centred Care
Mr Lucas recognises the importance of the children and young adults he treats feeling at the centre of every decision. That’s why he ensures everything is explained to them directly, even those who are quite young.
Evidence suggests that the more a child or young adult understands about what to expect from treatment, the better they do, the quicker they recover and the less pain they report.
Feeling informed, prepared and reassured is key – and that goes for parents, too.
Here, Mr Lucas talks about his work and the life-changing benefits he and his team bring to the young patients they see.
Individually tailored treatments
Mr Lucas takes a holistic view of the child or young adult and their family, before coming up with a fully personalised treatment plan.
