Our dedicated team of orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, physician assistants, nurses, nursing assistants, physical and occupational therapists, and volunteers work together to help our patients achieve their goals.  We are committed to providing care that is comprehensive and individualized for the specific needs of each patient.   

Our team also includes a Joint Care Coordinator who plays an active role in helping our patients from the preoperative phase through discharge and recovery.  The Joint Care Coordinator is accessible to patients to help ensure each and every patient has the best possible experience at the Aspirus Joint Replacement Center.

Before the surgery, our patients will:

• Attend educational classes to learn about the preoperative, surgical, and postoperative process.

• Receive a comprehensive guidebook that provides practical information for patients including Frequently Asked Questions, a Pre-Surgical Checklist, Pre-and Post- Surgical Exercises with photos, and other useful information to help explain what can be expected throughout the process.

During their hospital stay, patients will:

• Be treated by a multidisciplinary team that specializes in caring for joint replacement patients.

• Participate in group therapy sessions with other patients who are recovering from joint replacement surgery.

• Benefit from the aid of a friend, family member, or a volunteer who will act as a “coach” during group therapy sessions.

• Enjoy group lunches with their coach and other patients.

• Receive daily newsletters with updates on activities and schedules.

After patients are discharged, they will:

• Be prepared to continue recovery with a care plan customized to their specific needs.

To determine if you are a candidate for joint replacement surgery, talk to your primary care provider.
