Joint Replacement
We believe that patients play the biggest role in their own recoveries. In order to provide patients with the tools they need, The Orthopedic Center at Woodland Heights offers a program that integrates pre-op education, surgical procedures and post-op rehabilitation and wellness for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery.
The staff includes orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, specially trained nurses, physical and occupational therapists, orthopedic technicians and a joint care coordinator.
The joint care coordinator plays a special role in your experience with us. This person oversees the entire patient experience from the surgeon's office to your post-op rehabilitation. Once you and your physician decide that a hip or knee replacement is the correct way to go, the coordinator will be a personal concierge of sorts, scheduling your pre-op education and planning your discharge from the hospital.

Our Philosophy
The Orthopedic Center at Woodland Heights is committed to being the preferred joint care provider in deep East Texas. Our philosophy of care is to provide excellence in patient care by collaboration on continuum of care, patient education and continuous performance improvement.
What to Expect?
The program begins with education. Before you go in for surgery, you'll attend a pre-operative class with the joint care coordinator, where you'll receive information on how to prepare before surgery and what to expect from your stay with us. You're free to bring a friend or family member who can act as a coach through the entire process. The more support you have, the better!
Special rooms are reserved for those undergoing joint replacements. We believe that a group approach to recovery is important; that's why patients in this setting exercise and eat together, and experience hurdles and victories as a team. It even makes recuperation fun.
