Because Life Happens in Motion Patient Testimonials

Joint Replacement
Joint replacement restores worn out joints- usually the result of degenerative arthritis- with new, smooth surfaces. This corrective measure is typically used when other conservative treatments- such as physical therapy, medications and injections- have failed to alleviate pain. Joint replacement can provide many benefits including dramatic pain relief and the ability to return to an active lifestyle.

Every Step of the Way, We're There for You
You can feel confident in the care you'll receive at the Maryview Joint Center. Our program and dedicated unit have been specially designed for joint replacement patients. Our comprehensive, coordinated approach to joint replacement ensures you get the care and support you need through the entire process- not just the surgery. From pre-operative education to post-operative care and in-home recovery, we're right there with you.

Education Program
Your journey to recovery begins with our extensive education program. At Bon Secours, we recognize education as a vital component of rapid recovery. That is why we offer the support and the knowledge you need in our pre-operative class. You will receive a notebook that walks you through joint replacement and recovery. Members of our Joint Care Team will address your questions and concerns. Family and friends are encouraged to attend.

Home Health Evaluation
Upon request by your physician, a physical therapist from the Bon Secours Home Health team will meet with you in your home to demonstrate proper use of a walker or cane, outline your exercise program and perform a home safety assessment. Please ask your physician if you could benefit from this service. To arrange, call 889-4663.
