Why Choose St. Luke’s Lakeside for Total Joint Replacement Surgery?
A major area of orthopedic surgical expertise at St. Luke’s Lakeside Hospital is total joint replacement, with experienced, board certified orthopedic surgeons who lead the total joint replacement program.
Total joint replacement surgery is an elective procedure that has become much more common in recent years. It is a significant and life altering surgery. Patients committed to having a joint replacement procedure have made the decision to improve their mobility and return to the active and independent lifestyles they once knew.
Bill Bowman, a 70-year-old retired United States Army LTC, remained fit and active, swimming, golfing and playing tennis during retirement. Ultimately, he needed a double hip replacement or he would be permanently sidelined.
Bill chose St. Luke’s Lakeside Hospital in The Woodlands where he had successful hip replacement surgery on both hips over the course of 7 weeks. He reserves special compliment for his surgeon, who took time to answer every question and explain every step in the procedure. Bill also dubbed St. Luke’s Lakeside Hospital, the “Surgery Country Club” because of the gorgeous surroundings, delicious food served upon request, responsive support staff and great rehab staff.
