Joint Replacement

• Recover at home – Most patients go home the same day and are able to rest and heal in the comfort of their own home. 
• Lessened risk of infection – Large, acute-care hospitals are full of sick people. Same-day surgery centers and short-stay surgical hospitals like Baylor Surgicare – North Garland don’t treat patients with communicable diseases. Further, in your own home you are less likely to come in contact with someone who is sick or has been around people who may be sick. 
• Faster recovery – People who are comfortable at home heal faster and do better than those who are not in their own environment.
• Reduced out-of-pocket cost – Same-day surgical centers and short-stay surgical hospitals tend to do a good job of controlling costs, and your procedure may be less expensive at our facility.  
• Patient education and guidance – Every step of your joint replacement journey is guided by a dedicated, educated, and specially trained Joint Coach. This person and their experienced clinical team will help you and your care partner prepare your body, mind, and finances as you prepare for surgery in our center. He or she will ensure that you have all of the tools you need to have a good surgical outcome and experience. The Joint Coach and their team will help you get on your feet and out the door after your surgery, and closely follow you at home through frequent touch-points to ensure you’re on the very best path to a successful recovery.
