Our Approach

Dedicated to helping you enjoy life without the burden of joint or back pain, Providence St. Mary Medical Center orthopedic, sports medicine and spine specialists provide state-of-the-art care and treatment for orthopedic conditions. When joint replacement surgery or ortho-spine surgery is the right choice for you, we offer a preoperative class where you learn how to prepare for your surgery, learn what to expect when you arrive for your procedure, what to expect after your surgery and how to participate in a full recovery.

Along with conservative medical strategies that include medication, exercise and physical therapy, our orthopedic and ortho-spine surgeons also perform advanced, minimally invasive surgeries for any injury to the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.

New techniques are performed through a small incision, which means less pain and a shorter recovery. With these excellent outcomes, our patients typically are able to leave the hospital and start the rehabilitation process sooner, allowing them to recover quickly and get back to normal life activities. 

Services provided include: 

  • Total knee replacement 
  • Total hip replacement 
  • Hip fracture repair 
  • Total shoulder replacement 
  • Reverse shoulder replacement 
  • Joint revision surgeries 
  • Arthroscopic surgeries 
  • Spinal decompression  
  • Spinal fusions 
  • Cervical total disc arthroplasty with MOBI-C device 
  • Spinal kyphoplasty 
  • Spinal injections 

By combining medical expertise and advanced treatment technologies, our orthopedic and ortho-spine physicians help treat injuries that affect a patient’s quality of life. These types of conditions include: 

  • Fractures 
  • Carpal tunnel  
  • Dislocations 
  • Arthritis pain 
  • Back pain 
  • Degenerative disc disease 
  • Scoliosis 
  • Spinal stenosis 
  • Joint pain 
  • Pain from strains 
  • Sprains 
  • Sports injuries 

Our surgery department is broken down into six service teams:

  • Pre-admission Assessment Testing (PAT)
  • Ambulatory Surgery (Outpatient Surgery Pavilion)
  • Surgery
  • Other Ambulatory Surgery
  • Post Anesthesia Care Unit (Recovery)
  • Sterile Processing Department

These teams work together to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. In conjunction with these teams, our hospital has an Orthopedic Program Manager who assists by navigating the large joint replacement and Ortho-spine surgery patients through the process of surgery for best outcomes.

Considering Joint Replacement?

With today’s advancements in surgical techniques and technology, joint replacement is safer and more effective than ever. Many of our patients return to activities they thought they couldn’t enjoy again, it’s our goal to help you do the same.

We’re invested in your health. Our board-certified surgeons use minimally invasive techniques that help reduce your pain, improve mobility and assist with a faster recovery. From pre-surgery education to post-surgical rehabilitation, we ensure that you feel informed and cared for during every stage of your recovery.

Joint pain shouldn’t interfere in your daily life. When you’re ready to consider joint replacement surgery, our team of experts are here to discuss all aspects of surgery with you.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals
  • Pre-surgery education to help you prepare
  • Post-op rehabilitation to improve strength and mobility
  • Ongoing follow-up care during your recovery

  • Partial: This type of procedure is a more targeted approach towards the specific damaged portions of your joint. With a partial replacement, we try to preserve as much of the healthy tissue as possible, so your movements are more natural.
  • Total: A total joint replacement is where we remove the damaged bone and replace it with a prosthetic joint. The new joint, coupled with any preserved healthy bone, ligaments and tissue, will help restore your mobility.

Doctors will typically recommend non-surgical treatments first, such as bracing, injections, medications or physical therapy.

If those haven’t brought you relief, you might be a good candidate for surgery if you’re still experiencing:

  • Limited mobility, from arthritis or joint deterioration
  • Pain during rest or sleep
  • Persistent pain that’s interfering with your daily life

If joint pain is affecting your quality of life, contact our team about surgical options and next steps.
