Surgical Services

Minimally invasive orthopaedic procedures are performed at both the Jennie Stuart Ambulatory Surgery Campus as well as our Main Surgery Campus. Our surgeons’ skill, combined with state-of-the-art equipment and a compassionate, supportive staff ensure your personal comfort on the day of your procedure. After surgery, you recover under the care of a highly trained nursing staff and oftentimes go home the same day.

Patients requiring one or more nights to recover, stay in a dedicated Surgical Unit, located on the 2nd floor at Jennie Stuart Health. The specialized unit is staffed by RNs, nurse technicians, case managers, and physical therapists who are all specially trained in the orthopaedic protocols developed by our surgeons and demonstrated to increase comfort and quality post-operative recovery.

Total Joint Replacement

 Our highly skilled orthopaedic team is dedicated to assisting patients whom have experienced interruptions in their normal daily routines related to joint pain. We offer solutions to get you back in motion and back to enjoying life at its fullest. 

As part of our orthopaedic team, our Total Joint Coordinator works alongside our experienced surgeons to craft a care plan tailored to your specific needs. The goal of the education provided by our Total Joint Coordinator is to lay the foundation for the best post-operative outcome. 

Our care team understands the processes of recovering from orthopaedic procedures, such as joint replacement, that is why we have dedicated post-op rooms for our surgical patients. 

The Surgical Unit features private rooms large enough to hold the rehabilitation equipment used to enhance recovery for our patients with total joint replacement. Thousands of surgeries and patient successes have demonstrated that a dedicated surgical unit allows patients to recover more rapidly.
