Leon (Leandro) Lucero is an ABC-Certified Prosthetist/Orthotist and Clinic Manager for Hanger Clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

As a clinician with more than 20 years of experience, Leon specializes in lower extremity orthotics, and foot and ankle deviations would be his focus on a patient. He started his career in O&P by working in the lab fabricating devices. He became interested in patient care, mainly providing care for orthotic patients and began pursuing his prosthetics certification.

Outside of work, Leon enjoys the outdoors such as fishing, camping, and sitting on the river in a cabin relaxing with family. After hanging up the softball cleats, he and his wife have more time to enjoy the outdoors.
