Dr. Lueking is a fully knowledgeable, highly-skilled surgeon. His concern for his patient's well-being is apparent from initial consult to post-surg checks. He ensures the patient and family are fully informed so that the most appropriate procedure is selected and well-managed through recovery. He is personable and more than willing to answer questions. At one year post surgery, all is well.

Dr. Lueking performed my Nissen Fundoplication about 2 weeks ago. Prepping for my surgery again I would like to thank Rhonda for her patience in regards to my work schedule. My surgery went well, thanks to Dr. Lueking and his team who was with him in the operating room. I am Recouping well. I would recommend Dr. Lueking and his staff if your considering surgery for acid reflux/gurd relief. I will say it is so nice to eat/drink foods that caused my heartburn to act up, and actually enjoy it with no discomfort. For those who also decide to opt for surgery you will have to adapt to a different lifestyle of eating, where you would have to eat more frequently and smaller portions of meals. If you were to eat out just know that you will be taking a doggie back home with you. On a lighter note, the Nursing staff at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, IN. were ALL very courteous, kind, and helpful just remember you are NOT the only patient there! Have respect for your nurses.

Due to my employment scheduling is quite difficult, Ronda was very patient and helpful with working around both my schedule and the Dr's. I went in for my acid reflux problems. The first scheduled appt. for having the monitor in my nose and down my throat for 24 hrs. was convenient because I didn't have to work that day. My second schedule for the throat scope had to be rescheduled a few times and thankfully Ronda again was patient being able to work with my ever changing and unknowing schedule. My third schedule to get the x-ray's of my stomach and enjoying the delicious chalky drink (tasted like strawberry's and banana's) as it was being done wasn't too bad as I was able to make that one after a few rescheduling's Ronda again being very helpful, patient, and understanding. My last schedule is for the operation, will let you know how that goes when the time comes. I haven't had any problems with the staff, and Dr Lueking is very knowledgeable, friendly, and understanding.

I went to Dr. Lueking for a thyroid biopsy consultation. When I walked into the office, the office staff was internet shopping and didn't realize I was there until I spoke. This should have turned me around and out the door. I saw Dr. Lueking who said the biopsy should be done, and he sent me out the scheduler. She flipped quickly through my chart, got me scheduled with the hospital radiology department, and sent me on my way. At NO time did she give me any restrictions concerning my biopsy. We showed up at the hospital, got registered, went to radiology and while I was being prepared for the test, the nurse asked if I had taken my meds this morning; I said "yes." She informed that the radiology protocol stated that 2 of my meds prevented going on with the test and it would have to be rescheduled. I am appalled that the lack of attention to medical details put me at risk, cost an unneeded bloodwork, my time, gas, and extreme stress. I will never seek out this office again.
