Our surgeons perform many knee, hip and shoulder replacements each year. They work closely with your primary care provider and a team of rehabilitation therapists and specialists to help you achieve the best outcomes possible.

When to request a referral

Ask for an orthopedic referral to discuss treatment options if you’re experiencing:

  • Ongoing pain that limits your movement and ability to participate in favorite activities
  • Joint pain that wakes you up at night
  • No relief from over-the-counter medications and lifestyle changes

Our orthopedic experts are here to answer your questions and help find solutions that enhance your quality of life.

Our team provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions and injuries that impact the joints. Conditions we treat include:

  • Acute and complex fractures
  • Degenerative joint disease

Latest joint replacement technology

For some joint replacements we use the the Exactech GPS Guided technology which combines surgeon expertise with an advanced computer system, similar to a navigation device in your car. This technology allows for advanced accuracy, quicker healing and recovery. We are the only surgeons in the area using this technology for joint replacements as determined by individual care needs. 

Procedures performed include:

  • Total and partial knee replacement
  • Total hip replacement
  • Total shoulder and reverse total shoulder replacement
  • Total ankle replacement
  • Joint revision procedures

With these advanced surgical techniques and technologies, even the most painful and damaged joints can be replaced easily. After surgery, our patients often resume activities that they once thought would be impossible.

Non-surgical options

The right combination of conservative therapies can help preserve joint function and relieve pain for many people. We offer:

  • Guidance on diet changes and nutritional supplements
  • Hot and cold therapy
  • Oral and topical medications
  • Pain-relieving injections
  • Physical therapy
  • Therapeutic exercise programs
