Choose your path
Patients should see themselves in the first minute.
Knee arthritis
Knee replacement
Bone-on-bone arthritis, swelling, deformity, stairs, partial versus total knee replacement, and robotic-assisted alignment planning.
Second opinions
Revision expertise
A focused review for painful, stiff, unstable, loose, infected, worn, or uncertain hip and knee replacements.
Active knees
Sports knee care
ACL, meniscus, knee arthroscopy, joint preservation, and return-to-activity planning for patients who want a durable path back.
A better first visit
The consultation is designed to reduce uncertainty, not sell a procedure.
You need to know if surgery is actually the right next step.
The first job is diagnosis: hip versus knee versus spine, arthritis versus injury, primary replacement versus revision, and timing versus continued nonsurgical care.
You want the technology explained without hype.
Robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement is discussed as a planning and execution tool for selected patients, with surgeon judgment still leading the process.
You are traveling from another island or coordinating family support.
Records, imaging, appointment timing, surgery location, home support, and follow-up should be organized before care feels stressful.
Robotic hip and knee replacement
Precision-minded planning, explained like a person.
Robotic-assisted surgery can help with patient-specific planning and execution for selected hip and knee replacement patients. The important promise is a clearer decision process: your anatomy, your imaging, your goals, and a surgeon-led plan.

Revision signal
Pain after a joint replacement deserves a real workup.
Pain or swellingLoosening or wearInstabilityStiffnessInfection concernSecond opinion before another surgery
Complex hip and knee revision
Not every painful implant has the same answer.
Revision consultations should begin with records, implant history, updated imaging, exam findings, infection screening when appropriate, and a careful discussion of whether another operation is likely to help.
