Our Approach to Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Orthopedics

If you suffer from joint pain, the expert doctors from IU Health Southern Indiana Physicians can help you keep your active lifestyle. Our orthopedic surgeons set the highest standard of care for their patients:

• One of two facilities in Indiana with Joint Commission Advanced Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement Certification
• Thousands of procedures performed
• Fast-track recovery
• Private rooms with specialized care
• Minimally invasive outpatient joint replacement available

What to Expect for Joint Replacement Surgery

Our orthopedic surgeons at this location perform partial knee replacement, knee replacement, hip replacement and shoulder replacement surgeries. While the surgeries are done at IU Health Bloomington Hospital or at Southern Indiana Surgery Center, they'll see you at this location before and after your procedure.

We believe patient education is one of the keys to success in joint replacement surgery. Before surgery, you will attend a class at our office to learn more about the surgery and what to expect before, during and after your procedure.

We also give you a book of information that you can use as a reference throughout the process. This book includes information on your hospital stay, exercises to do before and after surgery, and other tips to help ensure your joint replacement surgery is a success.
