If you require surgery to correct an orthopaedic disorder our staff will explain the operative procedure, the recovery process and the type of rehabilitation program you will need. Our surgeons operate at Center for Orthopaedic Reconstruction & Excellence, OSU Medical Center and a few surgeries at Hillcrest Medical Center. All surgical suites are equipped with the most advanced instrumentation and equipment currently available.
