LuskinOIC’s PATIENT STORIES

As long as there are children, our work is never done

To us, a successful patient story is when a child is able to laugh and play again. Our patient stories span all ages of children who were diagnosed and treated for injuries or conditions at LuskinOIC. Read about how our expert physicians, nurses, and staff helped kids get back to smiles, fun and feeling well again.
