Dr. Kendra Lastowka is an orthopedic surgeon with experience diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments. Long before she picked up a scalpel, though, she was at the bedside — working as a Certified Nursing Assistant caring for patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, traumatic brain injury, and mobility impairments. That early, hands-on experience shaped the way she practices medicine today: with patience, empathy, and a genuine interest in the person behind the diagnosis.

That early, hands-on experience shaped the way she practices medicine today: with patience, empathy, and a genuine interest in the person behind the diagnosis. She offers both surgical and non-surgical care, working with patients to help them recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, and get back to the activities that matter most to them.
