Shoulder replacement

When nonsurgical options like physical therapy and medication fail to improve chronic shoulder pain, you may need shoulder replacement surgery to relieve pain and restore mobility. During the procedure, an orthopedic surgeon will remove the damaged parts of your shoulder and replace with them artificial components.

Our priority is ensuring the best surgical outcome possible. We have found that you can be most successful after shoulder surgery when you are active and engaged throughout treatment.

Hospital-based patient navigator

We understand that undergoing surgery of any kind can be overwhelming. That’s why each patient in our shoulder surgery program is assigned a hospital-based patient navigator and has access to our virtual patient navigation tool.

Your navigator can provide education prior to your procedure, help you plan necessary accommodations after surgery (home help, pet care, adapting your home) and help to facilitate communication with your healthcare team. Your navigator also will check in with you in the hospital after surgery and during recovery to ensure seamless care. If you need additional guidance, our virtual navigation tool provides resources and education, right at your fingertips.
