Support Before, During and After Surgery
Get clear guidance from planning through recovery. Before surgery, you’ll review medicines, learn what to expect, prepare your home and line up any equipment or help you may need. Financial assistance and insurance questions can be addressed.
During your stay, your team manages pain control, early movement and safety steps to prevent infection and blood clots. Before you go home, follow-up visits and therapy are arranged, with written instructions on wound care, warning signs and how to return to daily activities.

Insurance and Financial Assistance Most major insurance plans are accepted. Our team can review your benefits and connect you with financial assistance programs if you qualify.

Yes, bone removal may occur but only what’s needed. For knee replacements, we remove the arthritic portions of the bone and replace them with metal caps with a plastic insert. For hips, we replace the head (ball) of the femur and provide a new liner for the hip socket.
