Customized Treatment Plans
At the heart of our approach is our commitment to putting patients first. We recognize that every patient is unique, and their needs and concerns vary. Therefore, we begin the joint replacement journey by thoroughly evaluating each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and expectations. This personalized approach allows us to tailor the surgical plan to meet your specific needs and goals.
Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation
Before any surgery, our patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation. In knee replacement cases, this includes analyzing factors like ligament stability and knee alignment to determine the most suitable prosthesis. For shoulder replacements, we assess rotator cuff integrity and bone quality to customize the surgical approach.
