Joint Replacement
Total Joint Replacement Services affiliated with Brookhaven Memorial Hospital
Total Joint Replacement Services offers a novel approach to treating joint issues by educating patients regarding their treatment options and working with them to decide which option best suits their needs. Before patients meet with a physician, they will be asked to fill out an information packet regarding their physical health history. This information will assist the physician in evaluating which state-of-the-art treatment will most benefit the patient. Clinical coordinators (RNs) will assist patients throughout the process and address any questions or concerns they may have.
