- ArthritisJoint replacement is one of the great orthopedic surgical advances. Surgeries of this type often involve conditions such as degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or joint damage. Our orthopedic surgeons observe and manage the disorder to determine the most beneficial time and type of surgical intervention. Just as no two patients are alike, no two joint replacements are exactly the same. That’s why our care is precisely focused on the unique medical and lifestyle needs of each patient.

- Hip ReplacementEveryone I talked to recommended I come to Alomere Health for my hip replacement surgery because everyone here is so professional. I found that to be true. The care I received after the surgery was exceptional. The nurses who got me up and walked with me immediately after surgery could not have been better. The surgeon did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this place.
