Why Choose Us
In an effort to provide patients with a high-quality, personalized program, we are continuously evaluating and measuring our performance. The team meets regularly with a focus on maintaining clinical and service expectations in all aspects of your joint replacement experience.
Led by the joint care coordinator, the team has been hand-picked for their positive attitudes, motivational skills and a desire to provide outstanding service. In addition, they have been specially trained to provide clinical care for patients undergoing these important procedures.
The Orthopaedic Center approach to joint replacement surgery encompasses wellness, early mobility, family involvement, education, personal responsibility, group interaction and minimally-invasive and rapid-recovery techniques.
With improvements in surgical techniques and post-operation care, it is now common for many patients to be able to go home from the hospital after two or three days. If you have both knees replaced at the same time, your stay can be a day or two longer. Of course each patient is different, but the goal should be for you to recover in the comfort and privacy of your own home as soon as possible.
This approach includes:
- Private rooms with bathroom attached
- Group physical therapy - patients can support and encourage each other on the road to recovery
- Rehabilitation room located down the hall from patient rooms
- Exercise and therapy provided in a group setting
- Casual clothes - no hospital gowns for this crowd
- Family and friends participating as coaches in the recovery process
- Community outreach seminars
- An informative pre-operation class for patients and your family
- A patient guidebook that explains your surgery step-by-step
- Daily newsletter delivered with your breakfast letting you know the day's agenda, along with tips for caring for your new joint
