Practice Philosophy: Children are the foundation of the future, and their bones are their foundation. Whether they are born a little more uniquely or suffer an injury, my goal is to make patients feel appreciated and heard. As a former college athletic trainer, I understand the bumps and breaks that sports can cause. Sports medicine is my passion and I want patients and their families to feel confident when they come see us. I value empowering patients to be a part of their own medical decisions by explaining all their treatment options to them.

    We have seen Luke a few times now he is AMAZING. He always listens so intently asks my daughter very specific questions in reference to where the pain is in her knee and is BEYOND kind and helpful when he explains what she needs to do and the plan moving forward. I would recommend going to see Luke if your child needs to see an orthopedist. We adore him!!!

    I could not stop bragging about the service we had. Mr Luke was just amazing! Educated my son and I. Even showed my son his xray as he explained things. I went back to my sons football teams mom and recommended him if (hopefully not) ever needed an ortho for their child.

    He was exceptional! Very thorough in his examination & questioning and then equally thorough with his analysis and describing treatment options.
