About C. Lucas Myerson, MD
I believe in listening first and tailoring care to each patient’s needs. My role is to guide with clarity, ensuring that each step of the process is explained and every decision reflects both sound medical evidence and the unique priorities of the individual.
As a shoulder and elbow surgeon, I am committed to providing treatment that is both safe and effective, whether that involves non-surgical options, advanced surgical techniques, or a combination of both. My focus is always on helping people return to what they need and love to do, whether that’s enjoying daily activities free of pain, competing in sports, or simply moving with confidence again.
​
I see each patient relationship as a partnership built on trust, education, and open communication. By combining my expertise with a personalized approach, I strive to not only restore function but also empower patients to feel informed, supported, and confident in their path forward.
