Dr. J. Taylor Lackey, MD

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. Taylor Lackey as a top hand surgeon in Austin because of his fellowship training, his microsurgery skills, and his focus on the hand, wrist, and elbow. Dr. Lackey completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He then finished fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery in Irvine. His expertise includes peripheral nerve and microvascular surgery. That training lets him handle both common problems and complex repairs.

What we like most about Dr. Lackey is how practical his care is for busy patients. He works at Austin Sports Medicine, a physician-led orthopaedic practice with eight surgeons, and sees patients in central Austin, Bee Cave, and Pflugerville. He treats fractures, tendon and nerve injuries, carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome, arthritis, Dupuytren’s disease, and trigger finger, plus children’s hand conditions. He offers endoscopic carpal tunnel release and wrist arthroscopy, and many visits include in-office X-rays and procedures. Non-surgical options such as injections come first when they make sense. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. Taylor Lackey among the top three hand surgeons in Austin.
