Orthopaedics at Glen Cove
Overview
Orthopaedic surgery is the fastest growing and largest service at Glen Cove Hospital. The department uses the latest in state-of-the-art technology. A multidisciplinary team of dedicated professionals cares for the patient's every need from start to finish.
Total Joint Replacement Surgery
The goal of the Total Joint Replacement Surgery is to return patients to functional, productive lives as soon as possible. The program emphasizes wellness and maximizes patient recovery efforts through education, family involvement and group interaction. Nurses, anesthesiologists, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians and physician's assistants all contribute their expertise in providing the finest care.
Spine Program
The Spine Program is lead by nationally recognized orthopaedic spine surgeons. Like the Total Joint Replacement Program, the patient's physical, surgical, and emotional needs are all met by the integrated health care team, thus speeding the recovery process and shortening the hospital stay.
Sports Medicine Program
Thanks to tremendous advances in orthopaedics and technology, advanced arthroscopic procedures are routinely done. Board-certified orthopaedic surgeons direct the care of each patient. Many of the procedures are done on an ambulatory basis. Patients are usually quite surprised at how well they feel after surgery.
