When I’m not in the operating room, I enjoy exploring different cuisines and watching films from around the world. I think new experiences help us see the world through other people’s eyes.
Hi, I’m Dr. Johnny Chuieng Yi Lu, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I specialize in peripheral nerve surgery, helping patients whose nerves have been affected by cancer.
Before coming to New York, I spent more than 15 years treating complex peripheral nerve injuries in one of the world’s busiest hospitals. I came to MSK because I wanted to bring that experience to patients facing nerve problems related to cancer and be a part of one of the very best programs in the world.
My goals are to help you regain movement, reduce pain, and return to the activities that matter to you. I use microsurgical techniques to repair damaged nerves, and I’ll work closely with our rehabilitation team throughout your recovery.
Recovery takes time, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our team wants to make sure you have a good experience on the road to healing. Empathy and understanding are at the heart of everything we do here at MSK.
