St. Luke's Clinic – Orthopedics - Hip & Knee

Our integrated team of specialty trained physicians and physician assistants collaborates to evaluate and treat common and complex conditions of the hip and knee. Our goal is to provide you with knowledge and understanding to help you recover from injury or impairment. We’ll evaluate your goals to develop a personalized treatment plan as a cornerstone to a successful outcome. As surgeons, we focus first on non-surgical management of your condition whenever it’s safe and effective.

We specialize in conditions such as osteoarthritis and muscle tumors of the hip and knee. And our surgeons have extensive experience with procedures such as arthroscopy, computer-assisted total joint replacement, and reconstructive hip and knee surgery.

We're committed to providing safe, effective, and patient-centered care that is exceptional, seamless, and evidence-based, helping us drive high quality and continuous improvement for our patients and their families.
