Preoperative education and testing for patients scheduled to have a total hip, knee or shoulder replacement surgery. Total joint replacement classes cover preoperative preparation and immediate post-operative care in the hospital. In addition, we provide patients with information regarding their rehabilitation phase after surgery, including physical therapy and occupational therapy. Patients who have attended the education classes report feeling better prepared and less anxious about their upcoming surgery and have a more positive attitude about the entire surgical process.
