My approach to treating patients
Dr. Loucks was born and raised in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. In 1993, he received his undergraduate degree in Life Sciences (B.Sc.Hon) with honors from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He then went on to complete a Masters of Science Degree (M.Sc.) in Anatomy and Physiology at Queens University in 1995. Dr. Loucks obtained his Medical Degree, with honors, from the University of Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, in 1998. He then completed a prestigious Orthopedic Surgical Residency at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada. During his final year he served as the Chief Resident at Vancouver General Hospital. He successfully completed his Canadian board-certification, in Orthopedic Surgery, and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He is additionally Board Certified through the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons. Dr. Loucks is licensed and is a physician in good standing with the Colorado State Medical Board. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Orthopedic Trauma Association, the American Medical Association, the Canadian Orthopedic Association, and the Colorado and Denver Medical Societies.
Dr. Loucks has obtained additional training in trauma and total joint replacement. He received specialized training in the surgical management of complex fractures, including pelvic and acetabular fractures, during an AO Trauma Fellowship at St. Anthony's Central Trauma Center in Denver, Colorado. He has specialized training in Pediatric Trauma from the British Columbia's Childrens' Hospital in Vancouver, Canada.

He studied under Dr. Clive Duncan at Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Center, performing complex primary and revision arthroplasties. In addition, he has received additional training in the newest techniques of Minimally Invasive Hip and Knee Surgery. In fact, Dr. Loucks is one of the first surgeons in the Denver area to perform this minimally invasive and muscle sparing MIS 2 Incision total hip replacement through two very small incisions. He was the first surgeon in the greater Denver area to perform the Muscle Sparing Anterior Total Hip Replacement and is currently one of only three surgeons in Colorado who perform this amazing new technique.
