Luke Krynski, M.D., Ph.D.

I am a resident in the Mayo Clinic Family Medicine Residency Program in Mankato, Minnesota.

My practice philosophy is centered on listening, trust and shared decision-making. I strive to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, respected and involved in their care. During appointments, patients can expect me to be present, approachable and evidence-based while working together to create realistic plans that fit their goals and daily lives. I am especially passionate about preventive medicine, nutrition, exercise and helping patients use lifestyle as a tool to improve long-term health.

I believe medicine is at its best when it helps people not only treat illness, but also build healthier, fuller lives. As a family medicine physician, I hope to partner with patients through every stage of life by providing compassionate, evidence-based and individualized care. In the clinic, I strive to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, respected and involved in their care.

I have a special interest in preventive medicine, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and exercise, and I enjoy helping patients use everyday habits as tools for improving long-term health. In the community, I am passionate about education and outreach, especially around exercise, nutrition, chronic disease prevention and practical strategies for healthier living.
