Jason C. Lucas D.O., M.S. came to Orthopedic Associates to practice orthopedics in 2004 after completing a sports medicine, shoulder and knee fellowship in Los Angeles, California. He felt there was a medical need in the four corners and has enjoyed tremendously the community since his arrival. His areas of specialty include total knee and shoulder replacement as well as arthroscopic knee and shoulder surgery. He also specializes in sports medicine injuries and surgery as well as general orthopedic conditions and fractures.Dr. Lucas had an inclination toward medicine since he excelled in science and anatomy. The decision was finalized when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament during high school and spent many visits with an Orthopedic Surgeon. During his medical school training he felt the technical aspects of surgery to come naturally and his desire to become an orthopedic surgeon was fulfilled.
