Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such as sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Joint replacement
To perform total knee and hip replacement surgeries, our specialists use robot-assisted technology. This minimally invasive approach may lead to quicker recovery times and less scarring.
Hip replacement surgery
One minimally invasive option for total hip replacement is the direct anterior approach, which offers potential benefits such as a faster recovery time and more precise prosthesis placement. Compared to traditional hip replacement surgery, this approach may result in better function and a longer-lasting joint.

The robot-assisted approach to total and partial knee replacement surgery may result in a shorter hospital stay, offer better joint stability and decrease your time in physical rehabilitation.

Our Joint Replacement (CJR) program
If you undergo hip or knee replacement surgery, Medicare's CJR program promotes a high-quality and cost-efficient experience for you.
The CJR program allows our facility to enter into gain-sharing relationships with physician collaborators to share in the success of the program.
Spine support
Our spine specialists provide care personalized to your condition. We perform spine surgery as a common form of treatment, in addition to physical therapy and management of pain as more conservative treatment options.
Orthopedic rehabilitation
If orthopedic surgery is part of your treatment plan, the best way to promote recovery post-op is physical therapy and rehabilitation. Physical therapy typically begins while you're still in the hospital and continues after you return home. This method helps you continue to regain strength and mobility.
