We take the worry out of joint replacement

Over time, knees, hips, and shoulders can wear down. Replacing damaged joints with artificial ones is safe if other treatments fail. Patients typically return home within days, fully resuming normal activities in 6-12 weeks with good to excellent results

Excellent Outcomes

Our program exceeds national benchmarks, with significantly reduced readmissions, complications and shorter hospital stays

Total Joint Coordinators

These nurses make sure you have the information you need before surgery and follow up with you after surgery

Physician Collaboration

Our physicians hold weekly meetings to discuss cases, techniques, and new technologies to ensure they provide the best outcomes
