Essentia Health-Fargo is proud to welcome Dr. Lucas Holkup, who specializes in general surgery.
"I look forward to joining the team at Essentia Health," said Dr. Holkup. "Pursuing a career at Essentia was a no-brainer for me. I rotated there as a medical student and surgical resident, so I was familiar with the facility, surgical team and Essentia's philosophy toward patient care. It’s a privilege to be able to join this team and be a part of the Fargo-Moorhead community again."
Dr. Holkup received his medical degree from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. He completed a residency in general surgery at the University of North Dakota and is certified by the American Board of Surgery.
"One of my favorite parts about being a general surgeon is the variety of patients we see and procedures we perform," said Dr. Holkup. "Every patient is unique, and every day is different. I enjoy getting to know all my patients as individuals and developing a plan of care for them that meets their specific goals."
