Orthopedic surgery
Our board-certified surgeons use robot-assisted surgery to perform advanced orthopedic care. We are proud to be certified by The Joint Commission for total hip and knee replacements. The team is highly experienced in removing parts of a damaged or arthritic joint and replacing those parts with a prosthesis.
Our surgeons will prepare you for surgery by reviewing the risks and benefits of your procedure, as well as answering any questions you may have.

Hip replacement
In the United States, over 450,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed each year. During a hip replacement, your orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged or diseased ball of your upper thigh bone and the damaged cartilage from your hip socket. The damaged ball is replaced with a metal ball fixed inside the femur, and the socket is replaced with a plastic liner fixed inside a metal shell. This creates a smoothly functioning ball-and-socket joint that should not cause you discomfort.
Hip health assessment
Understanding your hip health is a great first step in determining which treatment options may be available for you. Take our hip health assessment to learn more.
Knee replacement
Knee replacement is recognized as one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine. Most individuals who receive knee replacement surgery are pleased with their results, and report improved mobility and better quality of life. During a knee replacement, the end of your femur is replaced with a metal surface, the tip of your tibia is replaced with a plastic piece and metal stem and the worn cartilage is replaced with artificial cushioning.

Osteoarthritis care
Osteoarthritis (wear and tear arthritis) occurs when the protective cushion of cartilage covering the ends of bones breaks down and wears away, causing irritation, stiffness and discomfort. We can help address this degenerative condition, before it worsens over time. Our orthopedic doctors and surgeons offer a wide range of surgical and nonsurgical treatments for osteoarthritis.
