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 surgery

- Arthroscopy of the shoulder, hip and knee
- Bone fracture repair
- Shoulder replacement
- Hip replacement
- Knee replacement
- Other surgeries of the hands, wrists, feet and ankles
Advanced robotic orthopedic surgery
As part of our commitment to your healing, our doctors and surgeons are always learning and growing to incorporate innovative techniques to better help our patients.
One of the ways we do this is through advanced robotic orthopedic surgery. Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates through small incisions — versus larger incisions used in traditional surgical methods.
During the procedure, your doctor, just feet away from the operating table, controls robotic arms fitted with surgical instruments. These systems provide your surgeons with an enhanced view of the surgical site and increased precision during the operation.
What this means for you is that, with robot-assisted surgery, you can expect effective results with less scarring and a shorter recovery time. That means you can get back to living the life you love, faster than ever.
