Orthopedic services we offer
Our orthopedic surgeons work with specially trained nurses and physical therapists to provide a multidisciplinary team approach to treatment and recovery.
Hip and knee replacement surgery
We perform advanced hip and knee replacement procedures to alleviate your joint pain and work toward restoring your mobility. Using robot-assisted technology, our orthopedic surgeons can more accurately position hip and knee implants.
This technology allows us to create a 3D model of your joint. Guided by the 3D model, our surgeons use a robotic arm to remove diseased bone before placing the implant, preserving healthy bone and soft tissue.
Robotic surgery requires only a few small incisions, which typically leads to a faster recovery. As a result, it is possible you may experience improved comfort, function and quality of life after joint replacement surgeries.
Assessing your bone and joint health
When something is wrong with your bones or joints, it can be painful and debilitating. We offer a quick knee health risk assessment and hip health risk assessment to help you get started on a path to recovery and wellness.
Spine surgery
Through our spine care program, we diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. If surgery is necessary, our orthopedic specialists may also use robot-assisted technology for minimally invasive spine surgery.
