Dr. Lukens incorporates into his practice some of the latest advances in surgery geared towards decreasing exposure to anesthesia, and brings with him tremendous familiarity with the most complex procedures for hand pain, deformity and dysfunction. “My philosophy is simply to always care for my patients the way that I would want to be cared for. Orthopedic surgery is about more than just fixing things that are broken, it’s about keeping people moving and living full lives. I do my best to help my patient do just that.”
