    Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

    Patient Comments

    • March 8, 2023 Very kind GREAT DR.
    • February 15, 2023 As usual, Dr. Lycan provided care above my expectations for the visit.
    • January 29, 2023 Top notch in every way
    • January 28, 2023 It’s hard to rate a Doctor when you’ve only been to see him for a consolation. Dr. Lycan was informative but I also seen 5 of his teammates on the same visit which was my first visit which made it too overwhelming for me to be able to remember all that was explained to me.
    • January 13, 2023 Very helpful understanding treatments.
    • December 25, 2022 Dr. Lycan was very professional, caring, and direct. He displayed an excellent attitude and listened, answered questions, and was extremely knowledgeable about my condition. I would strongly recommend him to others.
    • December 23, 2022 Was very knowledgeable about my situation and seem to be the only one with a plan to treat me!!!!!!!
    • December 6, 2022 He listened to me and gave me options if there were any. Great Dr.
    • November 10, 2022 Excellent service. Professional and honest in delivery of options for my cancer.
    • October 7, 2022 Dr. Lycan I know is on a tight schedule but he is willing to take the time to answer your questions.
    • September 27, 2022 Very friendly and helpful
    • September 18, 2022 Dr. Lycan is absolutely the BEST! I could not have asked or wished for better care! I love him!
    • September 6, 2022 I have rated Dr Lycan several times now, every visit is a most pleasant experience.
    • August 26, 2022 He has been my oncologist for 3 and 3/4 years through both good and difficult times. I am in year 3.5 of remission and find that this miracle has happened because of Dr. Lycan's care and knowledge. He is the best of the best!
    • August 25, 2022 He is concerned about me and if i have any new problems.He listens ao all my concerns,and answers all my questions. I am very happy with him as a person, and as my Doctor,
    • August 19, 2022 He was very thorough with me and explained well the risks of my procedure.
    • August 3, 2022 Dr Lycon is the most thorough Dr I have ever encountered. His explanations of procedures were plain and easily understood. He listened and answered my concerns, compromises were made that would satisfy both, my medical necessities plus my quality of life as a result of my treatments. He is a great doctor.
    • July 30, 2022 At times his remarks are rude and non caring. You sit in room waiting for him a long time each visit
    • July 29, 2022 Dr Lycan answered all our questions and explained everything in a way we could understand. He took a lot of time to listen to us and was very interested in helping us.
    • July 20, 2022 Dr. Lycan is the best oncologist. He listens to your issues, follows up welland is very u derstanding. I highly recommend him.
    • June 14, 2022 Great
    • May 17, 2022 Whenever I have an appointment with Doctor Lycan I immediately notice his dedication to his profession. He reviews tests and explains what they revealed and then suggests treatment plans. I have googled cancer for hours, trying to learn all about it and possible treatment. I had a list of questions that I never used because Dr. Lycan answered them during our consultation, without me having to ask. His friendliness, positive attitude and unlimited knowledge of cancer gave me courage and resulted in an enlightenment that I so needed. I feel like I walked in as a patient and out as a friend.
    • April 27, 2022 Didn't think I would see him today had scheduled Dr.Sylvester but Dr lycan came by when I was having chemo and sat down and talked about a few things to make sure wwe were on the same page. And wanted to know if there was any other things I was conscerned about. That goes above and beyond his duty and that is why if asked I tell everyone that I highly recommend the Cancer Center and MY team.
    • April 14, 2022 Dr. Lycan is the best! Would trust him with my life. Enjoy seeing him. Very pleasant Doctor and very easy person to talk with. He really cares about his patients.
    • April 4, 2022 He very kind and concerned

    Why No Ratings

    Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
