Patient Reviews
Jul 21, 2022
Dr. Lancaster was amazing. He performed an emergency bypass surgery on my husband. His bedside demeanor, caring nature and expertise were first class. We could not be happier with the recommendation from our Heart doctor who secured the services of Dr. Lancaster. We highly recommend this surgeon and thank him for his lifesaving expertise.
