Meet Christopher A. Lucas, DO


My goal is to provide the best care possible to all my patients. I treat my patients as though they are my family members. I will do everything I can to help patients navigate through the complexity of today's health care system. I always try to explain medical problems in terms that patients can understand. As a true family physician, I have diverse interests. Chances are, I can explain things in ways that make good sense to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Best of the best

from Peter in PA • March 1, 2024
Dr Lucas is always available when I need him, always caring and always treats me with the utmost professionalism and competency. He is a real blessing in my life. In 2006 he diagnosed a condition and that diagnosis saved my life. He is on my hero list!

Best family Dr.

from Daniel in PA • March 1, 2024
Dr. Lucas understands what you need and goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are fulfilled. I would never think about switching doctors, Dr. Lucas understands what I’m going through with cancer and the anxiety that I have been suffering from for years, the cancer has only been for 4 years but knowing that I have cancer makes my anxiety so much worse!! Anyhow he has prescribed me Read more...

Always Available

from Patricia in PA • February 16, 2024
Dr. Lucas is a very caring individual as well as being an excellent physician. When my husband was in a rehabilitation facility and I saw something about his physical condition that concerned me and called Dr. Lucas about it. He took time from a busy Sunday with his family to stop in and examine him. Fortunately it was not a serious issue but his presence and opinion relieved my anxiety. He also Read more...

Dr. Lucas A+

from Kathy in PA • January 25, 2024
Dr. Lucas is down to earth when I speak with him. He goes farther for me then any other doctor - by reaching out to other doctors I have dealt with for other illnesses. And when I have a test done he gets back to me himself or has Kerry get back to me with findings. In the past I've had to call the doctor to find out what the test results meant. I'm very appreciative of this Read more...
