Total Joint Replacement
We perform joint replacement surgeries for hips, knees, and shoulders affected by arthritis or severe damage. Minimally invasive techniques ensure faster recovery while restoring joint function. Pre- and post-operative care plans focus on maximizing mobility and long-term outcomes through coordinated surgical and rehabilitative care.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for procedures requiring smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma.

Mistakes made, and my health put at risk, in order to avoid admitting them. Half truths, and lack of understanding the immediacy of an infection based in getting me in there to address it, 2 weeks out isn't acceptable. I had to demand to see another dr., who only said, "There is nothing I can do for you today. "
Many more mishaps. I believe the God-complex may be an issue at this office. I'm highly disappointed and disheartened, and still not done with fixing the wrongs a year later. Bring an advocate with you is my advice.

Took my 85 year old mom for knee and ankle pain on December 31. Nurses were ok. Dr. Sohn - totally abrupt. Maybe he was showing off for the students he had in tow???
Made mom climb up on a flat table and then - "turn this way, lift your leg, sit up, lay back, lift you leg again" with NO help except what I tried to step in and give her... Unbelievable! She got shots in both her knee and ankle. By the time I got her home not only did her knee and ankle still hurt, her back was killing her from all the gyrations.

Could not talk to a doctor without taking an x-ray. Not very friendly. I don't understand how they know what to x-ray without looking at the injury.
