17 Years in the ICU Taught Me Where Prevention Matters Most

Lucas spent 17 years as a critical care nurse in cardiothoracic ICU and transplant medicine before training as a nurse practitioner. He built this practice around a simple idea: most hospital stays start with something that could have been caught and managed much earlier.

“This is my second time seeing this provider. I came back because my first experience was 10/10 and it's been my best experience with any provider so far, and I've seen many. He actually listens and wants to help solve the problem, not just throw a band-aid over it. I can't recommend him enough.”

A Visit That Listens Before It Prescribes

Lucas spent 17 years as a critical care nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. Those years shaped his approach: he'd rather help you stay out of the hospital than meet you once you're already in one.

During a visit, he listens, asks thoughtful questions, and connects the dots between your health and your everyday life. Together, you'll build an evidence-based plan that fits your goals and circumstances — whether that's primary care or help with weight, energy, hormones, or mental health.

Common Questions

Answers about telehealth visits, states served, and what to expect.

Is Tonies Health a telehealth-only practice?

Yes. Every visit with Lucas Tonies, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, CCRN, happens by secure video, and there is no physical office to visit. This lets patients across California and eight other states get primary care, weight loss, and hormone support without taking time off to drive to an appointment.

Which states can I schedule a visit from?

Lucas Tonies is licensed in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Washington, Florida, Virginia, Ohio and New York. You need to be physically located in one of these states at the time of your visit, but you do not need to be a permanent resident of that state.

Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications for weight loss?

Weight loss consultations include a review of your history, current medications, and labs to determine whether a GLP-1 medication or another evidence-based approach fits your goals and health profile. Any prescription decision is made individually after that evaluation, never before it, and never as a standing default.

Are visits available in Spanish?

Yes. Lucas Tonies is fluent in Spanish and sees patients in Spanish directly, without an interpreter. This includes the full visit, from history-taking to explaining your treatment plan. You can request a Spanish-language visit when you schedule through the patient portal, and no extra step is required.

What happens during a first visit?

Your first visit is a structured conversation about your health history, current concerns, and goals, typically lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Lucas asks more questions than most visits allow for, then builds a plan around your life and circumstances rather than a generic protocol handed to every patient.

Who will I see at my visit?

Every visit is with Lucas Tonies, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, CCRN (board-certified FNP-C, AANPCB), with 17 years of experience in critical care and cardiothoracic medicine before becoming a provider. You see the same provider at every appointment, not a different face each time.

Will I need lab work?

Many treatments, especially weight loss and hormone therapy, call for lab testing before starting and periodically throughout treatment. Lucas orders labs at a facility near you, and results are reviewed together on a follow-up video visit before any plan moves forward.

Can you prescribe medication?

Yes. When a prescription is medically appropriate, it's sent directly to your pharmacy. Some medications require additional steps, such as lab monitoring or scheduled follow-up visits, and controlled substances carry extra legal requirements that can limit what's prescribed through telehealth alone.

How do I book a visit?

You can schedule directly through the patient portal on this website. For other questions before booking, you can reach us at appointment@tonieshealth.com.

Is this an emergency service?

No. Tonies Health is a telehealth-only practice and cannot treat medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room rather than waiting for a scheduled visit.
