Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine
The orthopedic surgeons on the medical staff at Providence St. Mary Medical Center diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions including sports injuries and arthritis.
Our surgeons perform many knee, hip and shoulder replacements each year. They work closely with your primary care provider and a team of rehabilitation therapists and specialists to help you achieve the best outcomes possible.
Ask for an orthopedic referral to discuss treatment options if you’re experiencing:
- Ongoing pain that limits your movement and ability to participate in favorite activities
- Joint pain that wakes you up at night
- No relief from over-the-counter medications and lifestyle changes
Our orthopedic experts are here to answer your questions and help find solutions that enhance your quality of life.
Our team provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions and injuries that impact the joints. Conditions we treat include:
- Acute and complex fractures

If you suffer from chronic knee pain, a MAKO® procedure may be the right choice for you. Talk with your orthopedic doctor to learn more.
For some joint replacements we use the the Exactech GPS Guided technology which combines surgeon expertise with an advanced computer system, similar to a navigation device in your car. This technology allows for advanced accuracy, quicker healing and recovery. We are the only surgeons in the area using this technology for joint replacements as determined by individual care needs.
Procedures performed include:
- Total and partial knee replacement
- Total hip replacement
- Total shoulder and reverse total shoulder replacement

With these advanced surgical techniques and technologies, even the most painful and damaged joints can be replaced easily. After surgery, our patients often resume activities that they once thought would be impossible.
