Karen Jane Luethy, PA-C

A physician assistant, Karen J. Luethy primarily specializes in general orthopedics.

"I am fortunate to be a part of a team that can improve a patient's quality of life by alleviating their pain and restoring function through conservative care or surgery," she says. "Working in the office or assisting in surgery, while easing a patient's concerns and making sure they are comfortable with the plan of care, is the best part for me."

Luethy has worked in orthopedics for over 20 years, learning from surgeons at respected Virginia medical facilities, namely Norfolk General Hospital, a Level 1 trauma center, and the Portsmouth Naval Hospital Orthopedic Resident Program and Pediatric Fracture Clinic. She lives in St. Michaels, Maryland, with her husband and children.
