Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.
