Dr. Akshay Lakra, M.D.

Dr. Akshay Lakra is a fellowship trained Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in general orthopedic conditions and trauma surgery of the hip and knee.

Practice Philosophy

Dr. Lakra’s goal is to carefully listen to each patient with the intent to provide them individualized and customized clinical care.  Additionally, his approach is to help them understand their condition so that they can make an educated decision about their treatment options. He also discusses other modalities such as physical therapy and injections when appropriate. Progression of arthritis leads to pain and stiffness to a point where quality of life is compromised and Dr. Lakra will discuss surgery at that stage. Dr Lakra and his staff spend as much time as needed to  make sure patients understand the procedure and what to expect afterwards in terms of recovery, return to activity and to make the surgical process as efficient as possible in order to provide the best outcomes.
