Prepare for Your Procedure 

We believe the key to better outcomes is a commitment to provide you with a thorough understanding and knowledge of what to expect during your surgical experience. Knowing what to expect each step of the way helps to reduce stress and anxiety and prepares you for as smooth a recovery as possible.

The information you receive prior to your surgery includes:

• Engaging community outreach seminars
• An informative pre-op class for patients and family
• A Patient Guidebook
• Daily newsletters while in the hospital
• Educational displays answering the most frequently asked questions

What is a total hip replacement?

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure where the worn out surfaces of the hip are resurfaced with man-made components. Over time, the cartilage that cushions your bones can wear away, causing you pain and discomfort, and make simple pleasures like walking and shopping unbearable. Hip replacement can reduce or eliminate your pain, allow easier movement and get you back to normal life.

Am I a candidate?

You may consider hip replacement if you suffer from arthritic hip pain that severely limits your daily activities. We only recommend total hip replacements after careful examination and diagnosis of your particular joint problem, and only after more conservative measures such as exercise, physical therapy, and medications have proven ineffective.

What is a total knee replacement?

Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure where the worn out surfaces of the knee are resurfaced with titanium and plastic components. Over time, the cartilage that cushions your bones can wear away, causing you pain and discomfort, and make simple pleasures like walking and shopping unbearable. Knee replacement can reduce or eliminate your pain, allow easier movement and get you back to normal life.

Preparing for Your Total Knee Replacement 

An upcoming joint replacement surgery can feel overwhelming to a patient in pain, as well as to the family members or friends who will be involved in his or her recovery. Knowing what to expect helps patients and their caregivers better prepare for the surgery and rehabilitation process, and provides peace of mind as they take this big step toward improved mobility.

Shoulder Replacement 

Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure in which your shoulder joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant to keep the new joint moving smoothly.

If you have persistent shoulder pain, you may be a good candidate for a shoulder replacement if you fit any of the following descriptions:

• Shoulder pain limits your everyday activities and it has become too painful to continue.
• Less invasive treatments, such as injections and physical therapy, do not relieve your pain.
• You are no longer able to manage joint pain with typical over-the-counter medications.
