We are Howard J. Luks, and this is our app.Howard J Luks MDPatient as a care partner. We believe that patients should play a central role in management of their sports medicine injuries. We are here to help you reach your goals and get back in the game. As such, we anticipate you will play an important role in your orthopedic care and treatment decision making. Not all injuries behave the same way in different individuals. Your treatment plan will be catered to meet your needs and your goals. From helping you to define your goals, to coordinating your rehabilitation, we look forward to the patient as a partnerWe treat patients, not MRIs. MRIs do not have goals. MRIs do not have fears. MRIs don’t do rehab. While we look at MRI images, we never forget the big picture—people are the reason we do what we do. Deciding a treatment plan in sports medicine is much more than just an image. We want people to know that because we never forget.A tear may not equal a surgery. Sometimes the most important decision we make is not to operate on a patient. Often times, people think that any tear in a meniscus or ligament means surgery. The reality is that decision is much more complicated and incorporates patient specifics, goals, expectations, and a host of other factors. In short, we only recommend surgery when we feel the potential benefits exceed the potential risks and your goals are achievable.
