 We offer the complete array of first-class orthopaedic services
and treat our patients with a high level of respect and compassion because
our orthopaedists share a common goal: delivering the best care possible to
our patients.
We perform complex surgeries and, whenever possible,
the most minimally-invasive arthroscopic surgeries to offer the benefits of
less pain and scarring and faster recovery than the more invasive
procedures.
Our Services Include Care
For:
- Arthritis
- Foot and Ankle Injuries
- Hand and Wrist injuries
- Joint Replacement
- Scoliosis Treatment
- Sports Injuries
Pre-Admission Testing:
An
appointment will be made by our Pre-Admission Testing Office. At this
appointment, the patient will experience the following:
The Day of Surgery:
The patient will
be called the afternoon before surgery and informed of the time
and location
to arrive. Patients should come directly to the Ambulatory Admission Area.
Family members are encouraged to wait in this area to receive regular
updates. Once surgery and a stay in the recovery area is complete,
the patient will be transferred to Patient Unit 3C-1.
Orthopedic Rooms:
St. Vincent�s
Patient Care Services is proud to have designated orthopedic rooms available to
provide the finest recovery environment. Our Physical & Occupational
Therapists work closely with Nursing Staff to coordinate those first days of
care to ensure optimum recovery time. We have therapists certified in
orthopedics and the McKenzie Method. This team can be depended upon to
provide a caring and compassionate environment at the time needed most.
Transitional Care:
Often, a
transitional stay at a post acute facility is required after joint
replacement. Should sub-acute care be needed post-surgery, our Care
Coordination Team works closely with local sites to provide intense therapy and
ensure a smooth transition to home.
