Our Purpose

Southern Joint Replacement Institute is devoted to the treatment of patients needing primary and revision total joint replacement of the hip, knee and shoulder. Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art care in a professional and compassionate environment, while honoring a commitment to research and education in the field of total joint arthroplasty. All six physicians are board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists in the field of joint replacement surgery and orthopedic surgery.

...is to continue to lead in research, education and advanced surgical experiences for many generations to come.

We ready ourselves daily not with the thought that surgery is just something we perform, but rather a means by which we help our patients get back to the life they remember before pain interrupted. As fellowship-trained joint replacement surgeons, we continue to prepare ourselves through research, education and experience to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

...is to solve your pain issue and get you back on the road to recovery.
 

We like solving complex puzzles – whether a revision from a prior surgery or an overall difficult medical case. As orthopedic surgeons who specialize in joint replacement, we offer our patients the advantage of a “joint specific” expert who is experienced to handle a variety of challenges. Being fellowship trained means our surgeons really understand how the bones and muscles of the knee, hip and shoulder should work together, and are highly skilled to put the pieces back together.

...in using technology is to continue to improve patient outcomes and ensure safe and long-lasting procedures.

We let technology open new doors. Our surgeons focus on the areas of the knee, hip and shoulder. This intense focus makes us more adept with surgical techniques. When you couple that with our experience using advanced technologies and being national educators in the field, it opens additional doors to help our patients.

...is to change the landscape of joint replacement to help people everywhere enjoy their mobility.
