SURGERY CENTERS
~Honored to be ranked nationally as a "Best Ambulatory Surgery Center" by Newsweek~
With two advanced surgery centers available, we specialize in comprehensive orthopedic care— diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating diseases and injuries of the bone, muscle, tendon, nerve and ligament in both adults and children.
OrthoSouth Surgery Centers are designed to accommodate a number of surgical specialties, including orthopedics, pain management and spine procedures.
As part of our Covid-19 safety measures, all surgery center patients are tested for Covid-19 ahead of surgery. All surgery center personnel are subject to continued randomized weekly testing in addition to daily screening.
NURSE NAVIGATORS
Nurse Navigators at OrthoSouth are Registered Nurses who are assigned to our same-day joint replacement patients. These team members assist patients from pre-operative evaluation to post-surgery follow-up. If you and your doctor determine you are a candidate for outpatient total joint replacement in one of our surgery centers, a Nurse Navigator will call you to schedule participation in a total joint class that will discuss everything you can expect with your upcoming surgery. In addition, following your surgery the nurse navigator will remain a resource for you. She will contact you periodically to provide guidance and to help ensure you are recovering successfully at home.
