Highlights
Dr. Luke Wilkins profile video
My name is Dr. Luke Wilkins. I'm a physician in the section of vascular and interventional radiology. We perform minimally invasive image guided surgery for a variety of conditions. These may range from treatment of peripheral vascular disease to treatment of cancer through minimally invasive therapies. One of the things that brought me to the University of Virginia after I finished my training, was the collaborative nature of the physicians here. We have very talented, very intelligent physicians from all specialties. And one of the things I noticed when I first came here is that everyone works together for the care of the patient. I say first and foremost, my passion in medicine lies in patient care. Getting up every day and being able to help patients either achieve a better lifestyle, a better quality of life, or just provide them more time with their loved ones, is really what brings me to work every day. If you're a new patient and you're coming to see me, I hope that you can expect to be treated with kindness and compassion, and more so than that, I try every day to educate my patients so that they know exactly what their condition is, exactly what their treatment options are, so we can reach a decision together.
