Joint replacement surgery

Conditions like joint pain and osteoarthritis make it difficult for you to remain active. For some, nonsurgical treatments provide short-term relief. But if nonsurgical options aren’t working for you, our orthopedic team can help.

At our Centers for Orthopedic Medicine, we restore joint function using the latest surgical techniques. And our fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeons perform more joint replacements than anyone else in the area. This extensive knowledge means you recover from orthopedic surgery with the region’s most experienced team.

Sports medicine program

We offer a comprehensive sports medicine program designed to help you if a sports injury has sidelined you from an active lifestyle or if you are looking to achieve athletic excellence. Our program ranges from surgical treatment of major injuries, such as rotator cuff or ACL tears, to rehabilitation, concussion management and strength, agility and conditioning training. No matter your physical fitness or abilities, our team of sports medicine doctors, physical therapists and trainers work together to deliver personalized care that helps athletes meet personal and competitive goals.

Orthopedic rehabilitation

Sometimes, recovering from injury or surgery requires close medical supervision and assistance. If you need extra help recovering from a bone, joint or sports injury, our orthopedic rehabilitation program helps you regain function and get back to life on your terms.
