Today, in our 5th physician profile, you'll meet iMedExchange advisor Dr. Howard Luks.
Name: Howard Luks, MD
Specialty: Orthopedic Surgeon
Practice: Private Practice & Chief of Arthroscopy at University Orthopedics and Westchester Medical Center
Medical School : New York Medical College in Calhalla, New York
How I chose my specialty: As an athlete, I never finished a varsity season due to injuries – spending ample time with my orthopedic surgeon who peaked my curiosity into the specialty.
Why I joined the iMedExchange Advisor Network: I thoroughly enjoy the politics and business of medicine. iMedExchange is a place where I can express my thoughts and listen to the thoughts of others. It’s also a place where physicians can come together on personal, business or political challenges facing our profession.
If I wasn't a physician, I'd be an: Ocean Biologist
Vice: I think of golf and want to play golf more often than I should.
Favorite dessert: I wish I could share one, however I’m often interrupted by a page before dessert, so I don’t have a favorite.
Favorite vacation spot: My family and I have a beach home on the Jersey shore. I love being anywhere surrounded by sun, water and beach.
Pet peeve: People that set the bar or their goals too high – it gives them little likelihood to reach their objective.

Dr. Luks is an excellent physician and just a human being. He is one of th very few Doctors that really listen to his patients. What I like about Dr Luks is very thorough in his examinations and review of your medical HX, test etc. In a a field in which most choose to be arrogant, Dr Luks has chosen kindness and respect. He actually safe my life last year. I recommend Dr. Luks without reservation. Thanks again for your dedication, caring ad respect you show your patients.
