What if your orthopedic surgeon suggested you skip the MRI? Or if she suggested that knee scope probably isn’t worth pursuing? Or pointed out your arthritis is not due to your activity? Would you look back at the sign on the door to make sure you were actually in a surgeon’s office?
Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching podcast – one of our classic Hidden Gem episodes! I’m your host, Dr. Bradford Cooper and thanks to the magic of twitter, I discovered Dr. Howard Lucks, a respected orthopedic surgeon who didn’t sound like most orthopedic surgeons I’d met during my 30 years as a physical therapist and endurance athlete. The more I read, the more intrigued I became, and the more obvious you’d want to hear from him too.
Dr. Lucks is a Board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine for almost 25 years. He is an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at New York Medical College and is the Chief of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at WMC Health, a branch of Westchester Medical Center. He’s also a trail runner, amateur cyclists and father to 3 children. He also – like most of you here – believes in the pursuit of better.
