Total Joint

Get back to the life you love

At Wellstar, our doctors, surgeons and specialists know how to treat bone and joint conditions with skill and experience – and our expertise in caring for shoulders, elbows, hands, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet is tailored for you, from geriatric to pediatric patients.

The support of our comprehensive program begins as soon as your doctor recommends surgery. At our outpatient surgery center, you’ll receive personalized care in our intimate, respectful and family-like setting where your nurse navigator will guide and support you through your complete orthopedic health journey. We utilize minimally invasive, arthroscopic techniques whenever possible, which typically involve shorter recoveries with fewer complications.
