“The one thing that makes or breaks surgery is the aftercare. We specialize in that."
We have highly trained staff on duty 24 hours/day so and this allows us to provide the very best patient care post-operatively. Our pain management protocols ensure that our patients are as comfortable as possible while our rehabilitation works hard to get our patients back on their feet.
