Another common question we get asked at CJRS is "what are my limitations after joint replacement?" Hip and knee replacements do not come with limitations or restrictions. While in the earlier recovery period certain restrictions are suggested but these restrictions are there to allow for your healing. Usually after 6 weeks you are ready to start adding activities back into your life. Our goal for the joint replacement is to get you back to the quality of life you deserve. Whether that is on a pickle ball court, golf course, hiking trail, lake, ski slope or simply going for walks is up to you. So when your hip or knee is keeping you restricted from the life you want, it may be time to ditch those restrictions. At CJRS we are here to help and can help guide you through the options for your joint pain. In the video, see a total knee and total hip in action on the slopes!

A very common question we get asked is "How many of these have you done?" Certainly a good question and one I would be asking myself as a patient. At CJRS, we combine years of experience and expertise in hip and knee care. Healthy competition has pushed us to continue to refine our surgical skills and efficiency to improve our patients' care, experience and outcomes. We do not like to focus on the total volume of cases as an indication of a good surgeon but rather how we make each patient feel and improving quality of life for as many of our patients as we can. As a result of wanting to help as many patients as we can, we now have over 10,000 cases of combined experience in hip and knee replacement. Simply put, the most mako smart robotic knee replacements and minimally invasive direct anterior hip replacements in the region. We hope CJRS will be that perfect combination of compassion and experience patients are looking for.

I am excited to be a co-founder of CJRS with the best possible partner and friend. Truly a great man that any provider or patient can trust to the fullest. The highest praise I can give is that I did not hesitate when my mom needed her joint replacement. He's a surgeon's surgeon.
