Orthopedic care

Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such as sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Orthopedic treatment

Our team of physicians, surgeons, orthopedic specialists, nurses and staff treat a range of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Each care team member is uniquely skilled and will provide you with high-quality, personalized care. We specialize in innovative nonsurgical and surgical procedures for the knee, shoulder, spine and hip, as well as joint replacement and trauma surgery for orthopedic injuries.

Whenever possible, our doctors use conservative treatments that require less recovery time than surgery. However, if nonsurgical treatments have not relieved your symptoms, orthopedic surgery may be the only option to restore function and reduce discomfort.

  • Back surgery
  • Carpal tunnel release

  • Knee replacement using robot-assisted surgery
