Our Medical Staff is comprised of multiple leading orthopedic practices, collaborating to deliver comprehensive and specialized orthopedic services.

Some of the more typical orthopedic surgeries we perform include:

1. Joint Replacement Surgeries: Our orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint replacement surgeries, including knee replacement, hip replacement, and shoulder replacement. These procedures are performed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from arthritis or severe joint damage.
2. Arthroscopic Surgeries: Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. Our orthopedic surgeons utilize arthroscopy to address conditions such as torn ligaments, meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and loose bodies in the joints.
3. Spinal Surgeries: Our experienced spine surgeons perform a range of spinal surgeries to treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities, and spinal fractures. Procedures may include spinal fusion, laminectomy, discectomy, and artificial disc replacement.
4. Fracture Repair: Our orthopedic surgeons are skilled in fracture repair procedures, which involve setting and aligning broken bones to promote proper healing. These surgeries may utilize internal fixation devices such as plates, screws, rods, or external fixation methods.
5. Sports Medicine Surgeries: For athletes and active individuals, we provide specialized orthopedic procedures to address sports-related injuries. These surgeries may include ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, rotator cuff repair, and tendon repair.
6. Hand and Wrist Surgeries: Our orthopedic surgeons offer surgical interventions for hand and wrist conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, tendon injuries, and fractures. Procedures may involve repairing damaged structures, releasing pressure on nerves, or restoring function.
7. Foot and Ankle Surgeries: We provide a variety of foot and ankle surgeries to treat conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, and ankle fractures. Surgical interventions aim to relieve pain, correct deformities, and restore normal foot and ankle function.
