Clinics and Appointment Scheduling
As a specialist in orthopaedic surgery, Dr. Luker spends significant time in the OR and making rounds on his patients in the hospital. Because of this he is only available in clinic approximately two and a half days per week. As a surgeon on active staff at St. Mary's Hospital and Medical Center, he is also required to take trauma calls. We ask your patience and understanding if your appointment has to be rescheduled or is delayed due to an emergency.
