Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such 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.

Hip care
We try our best to relieve hip pain with nonsurgical methods; however, when hip pain is severe and interferes with daily activities and work, joint replacement may be an option.
Signs that you should be evaluated for a hip replacement include:
- You have hip pain that persists or prevents you from sleeping
- You take medication, but it does not provide relief from hip pain
- You are no longer as mobile as you’d like to be because of the pain in your hip
- Your hip aches during and after exercise
- Your hip is stiff or swollen
Knee care
Your knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. The most common knee injuries include fractures, dislocations, sprains and ligament, tendon or meniscus tears. Many knee injuries can be successfully treated with simple measures, such as bracing and rehabilitation exercises, while other injuries may require surgery.
If surgery is necessary, our knee doctors are experienced in a variety of procedures, including partial and total knee replacements.
Pediatric orthopedics
Our team of board-certified pediatric orthopedic specialists is known not only for exceptional medical treatment, but also for their thoughtfulness when working with our youngest patients.

Spine surgery
When nonsurgical methods are ineffective, spine surgery may be necessary to correct problems that involve nerves, discs or bones. Our orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons work together to treat these conditions in adults and children. They perform specialized spine surgeries and procedures, including:
- Artificial cervical disc implantation
- Digital biplane angiography
- Kyphoplasty
