Dr Lucas very pleasant, professional, thorough
Providence Patient
Dr King is so nice. I went to meet him when my husband was seeing him. He is perfect for us. What I liked about him was he let me decided on what I wanted to do. I took the steroid shot, and possibly physical therapy, versus jumping into surgery. I'm happy I went this way. I may still need to have surgery, but I'll face that when I get there.
Providence Patient

My primary care physician referred me to a specialist to review my MRI. Dr. King let me know the ultimate resolution would require surgery but referred me to Physical Therapy as a next step and let me know injections would be available when needed. We agreed that surgery would be a last resort, which I hope to put off as long as possible.

Dr king is very competent and personable.

My care provider recommended physical therapy for my knee. I think that is a good recommendation and that physical therapy will help my knee recover.

Providence Patient
Excellent doctor
Providence Patient
Love the common sense approach and that Dr King lays out options and allows the patient to be part of the decision making.
Providence Patient
Dr King was compassionate, empathetic, and understanding. He took a great interest in my concerns and thoroughly explained the situation I'm currently in. He brought in another doctor to consult with and I followed up the following week with that doctor after Dr. King ordered a CAT scan. I received absolutely amazing care from Dr. King and his staff from the moment I walked in until I left. Unable to walk without difficulty they got me across to the x-ray back and out to my car. I greatly appreciated everything that they did and would definitely refer this group to anyone needing help
Providence Patient
Only one visit so far Dr. King was very professional and thorough made us feel comfortable and made sure we clearly understood the process. I highly recommend them so far!

Providence Patient
Dr King was recommended to me by my care provider, Doc Jen. She said he was top notch and usually had an opening to see emergency type cases. Which mine was. Well, immediate help needed. Dr King is upbeat, positive, caring and actually has a good sense of humor. Explained everything. I have had a set of X-rays, injection. Physical therapy. MRI. And have already been called to schedule surgery. Torn meniscus. Fluid in knee. I've been to both facilities, Petaluma and Santa Rosa. All staffed well. I'm in good hands and am positive everything will be as good as possible. Keep dr King. !
Providence Patient
Appointment was 9:30. I was asked to be there at 9. Dr King didn't see me till 10:10 and I didn't feel like he gave me enough to adequately answer my questions. He was too interested in getting me scheduled for surgery right away. His notes indicate items he never told me. I'm not confident with him at all. And he won't be able to correct my pain.
Providence Patient
I got a cortisone injection in my knee. Usually it takes a couple of days before I feel relief from pain but this time I felt relief that night. I was amazed.
Providence Patient
Dr. King, was great. Prompt, professional, explained everything clearly and concisely. He listened to my concerned and effective addressed them in one visit with a solid and simple plan for follow-up. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family.

I really liked this Dr. He was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and very well prepared to treat my problem, which is a shoulder replacement. Explain to me why I have the problem I have and how to treat it and what the results will be upon completing his recommendations.
