Robot-Assisted Surgery
Our robot-assisted surgical systems enable precise joint replacements and complex procedures with smaller incisions. This technology improves implant placement accuracy while minimizing tissue damage, potentially reducing recovery times. Patients benefit from personalized surgical planning using 3D imaging and real-time procedural adjustments.
Sports Medicine
We specialize in diagnosing and treating sports-related injuries including ligament tears, fractures, and overuse conditions. Our approach combines conservative treatments with advanced surgical options when necessary. Athletes receive tailored rehabilitation plans to safely return to activity while preventing future injuries through biomechanical assessments.
Joint Replacement
Our comprehensive joint replacement program addresses severe arthritis and joint damage through hip, knee, and shoulder replacements. We utilize both traditional and minimally invasive techniques with personalized implant selection. Patients receive preoperative education and postoperative physical therapy to maximize mobility restoration and implant longevity.
Hand and Wrist Care
We treat complex hand and wrist conditions including fractures, nerve compressions, and tendon injuries. Our physicians perform microsurgical techniques for nerve repairs and reconstructive procedures for arthritis. Patients receive specialized postoperative therapy to restore fine motor skills and hand functionality.

Don't expect the nurses to call you back. Two torn rotator cuffs and they won't do surgery. Gave some very unhelpful muscle relaxer and I'm still in pain. Need to find someplace else to go.

Set my husband an appt for his spine. They made the appt then was told they are not a spine dr after taking X-ray of the wrong area. Total waste of time. Why even make the appt for us?

I saw Dr. Luken and have been his patient since April. In my own opinion he could care less about his patients. Proof is in his actions.

Make sure you block out plenty of time because my first two appointments that were scheduled was no where close to being on time. The 2nd appointment waited 40 min in the exam room for doctor to show up.
