Same-Day and Next-Day Discharge
The majority of our patients go home the same day as their surgery thanks to Mako SmartRobotics, which transforms the way total joint replacements are performed. Our surgeons know more and cut less, which leads to less pain and quicker recoveries for our patients. We can also use the CORI Surgical System, a robotics-assisted tool that helps our surgeons perform joint replacements with enhanced precision. Advanced technology creates a 3D model of your knee in real time and allows your surgeon to personalize the surgery to fit your unique anatomy.

Opioid Management for Joint Replacement Surgery
We provide evidence-based pain management, resulting in improved patient satisfaction and shorter lengths of stay. Our expert anesthesiologists use innovative techniques to minimize pain after surgery, decreasing your opioid use/overuse risk. And we offer a variety of pain relief treatment options, including nerve block and non-opioid medications, to keep you comfortable during your recovery.
Joint Replacement Recovery
Because every patient’s recovery is different, we create a recovery and exercise plan tailored to your specific condition and needs. Nearly 99% of our patients are able to recover at home following total joint replacement.
If you stick to your plan and follow your doctor’s instructions, you’ll experience less pain, improved mobility and return to your daily activities sooner.
