I wish the period of time from making the appointment to seeing the Dr would have been quicker. I made the appointment in March and the earliest available was mid August.

Great service. MD. Cornelius Lucas is a great professional.

The doctor is excellent, that is the only reason I continue to go to UM but the system is impersonal, difficult. Please note that we are patients not customers/consumers and the medical field/system that supports it should remember they are dealing with human being in need of medical care.

I wish that I had been informed when I made my appointment with the practitioner, only goes to downtown Miami this is not feasible for me, also the prescription I received is not covered by my insurance

Very satisfied with services provided by Dr. Luca over the past 6 plus years. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else to administer necessary treatments for my diagnosed cervical dystonia.

The doctor & his staff is fantastic but the system in place to contact the provider is very poor. Love the doctor and his staff HATE the inadequate, Impersonal and Inefficient system that UM Health has In place.

The provider was very interested in my condition, explained to me how the calcification procedure for surgery will be and administered the medications in such a way that in just 40 minutes the tremors and stiffness disappeared. This gave me a lot of confidence.

I have been seeing Dr Luca for about 8 years and I feel very lucky to have found him. He is sensitive to my issues, straightforward and honest with his recommendations and with the future of my illness (i.e. No sugar coating it) and I truly appreciate that.

Overall, excellent visit.

I have become very fond of Dr. Luca. The report we had on my last visit was very special to me. I appreciate his extraordinary talent and knowledge while also appreciating his sense of humor. I hadn't seen that side of him previously. Though my visit was for a very serious matter, his levity was relaxing.

Dr. C Luca is outstanding. It is worth the drive from Ft Myers to have such a great doctor.
