Total joint replacement surgery has helped many people live fuller and more active lives – free of pain – in Hampton, Newport News, and Williamsburg, Virginia. However, any type of surgery, including a procedure designed to replace a knee, hip, or shoulder joint, is a major step, and most patients need several weeks to prepare themselves both physically and emotionally. The fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons at Tidewater Orthopaedics place a high priority on patient education, and we are committed to doing everything possible to help our patients plan for potentially life-changing surgery.
At Tidewater Orthopaedics, our joint replacement specialists believe that a prepared and informed patient is more likely to achieve a successful surgical outcome. We strive to provide our patients with all of the information they need to make educated health care decisions, and we always welcome – and encourage – questions.
