      Dr. Luke is the very best! I had an excellent experience with him. The injection he gave me was virtually painless, and today - one day later - my shoulder feels much better. He took care to inform me about every aspect of steroid treatment as it applies to my deteriorating shoulder condition. My discussions with him both pre and post injection were most helpful for my understanding of my condition - probably outcomes and future options.

      Dr. Luke was very attentive but somewhat rushed. I'm assuming he was being extra conscious about my making my next appt on time because the RN said she would make sure he knew about my time concerns.

      Dr. Luke is personable and approachable. He listens and gives my comments weight and then comes up with a plan to get the best results for me as an individual.
