1. Is University Orthopedic Care registered and supported by any institution?

Yes, each of our locations takes pride in being registered with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and achieving accreditation by The Joint Commission.With these two associations, we ensure our patients receive the highest-quality care coupled with detailed attention to patient safety throughout the process.

2. If a surgery is recommended what is a typical timeline from consultation to surgery?

Surgery is usually arranged 3 to 4 weeks after your visit with the surgeon.This time interval allows to complete any required medical clearances and lab work. That said, we understand the impact of severe pain and can often expedite the surgery date if required.

3. Is minimal invasive surgery (MIS) the right approach for me?

Although every patient’s situation is unique, a minimally invasive surgical approach may often be available.At University Orthopedic Care, our surgeons utilize the most advanced approaches for numerous benefits:The entire procedure is conducted through a small incision ranging from one and a half inches to a quarter inch.MIS significantly decreases the amount of an anatomic disruption and cutting through tissues. Recovery time with MIS is significantly shorter than the one required for traditional exposure surgical methods.

4. Why does a surgeon’s experience matter?

Choosing the right orthopedic specialist is essential for optimal recovery, and experience plays a critical role in achieving the best outcomes.Look for a specialist with board certification and advanced fellowship training in relevant areas like joint replacement or complex fracture care.At University Orthopedic Care, our board-certified experts bring years of experience and utilize cutting-edge technology to treat a variety of conditions. We specialize in managing traumatic injuries and offer a comprehensive range of treatments, including minimally invasive procedures and regenerative medicine.
