Frequently Asked Questions

What are your business hours?

Our offices are open 7:30am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday (except holidays).
Appointments can be made by calling our office during office hours.

Will physical therapy be required after surgery?

Major surgery on a joint may take two or three hours in the operating room. Getting
a full range of motion, strength and flexibility back in that joint after surgery usually
takes months. That's where pre-operative exercise and education and post-operative physiotherapy programs come in - to ensure you're physically and emotionally prepared
for surgery, and to maximize your recovery after surgery. Together, such programs are among the most important determinants in the success of your surgery.

What should I bring with me when I come for an appointment?

When you come for your appointment remember to get the following:

  • Have your insurance information.
  • Copies of operation records, medical records, x-rays, MRIs, CT scans and so on from prior doctor visits.
  • If you have seen a physiotherapist, please bring a progress letter from the therapist.
  • If you have had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your operation report
