Why Choose Us
We believe that patients play the biggest role in their own recoveries. In order to provide patients with the tools they need, we have created a program that integrates pre-op education, surgical procedures, and post-op rehabilitation and wellness for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery.
MountainView Regional Medical Center is also home to the first program in Southern New Mexico certified in knee and hip replacement by The Joint Commission, a designation that reflects our commitment to providing best practices in joint replacement surgery.
Our program brings together a team of knowledgeable surgeons with compassionate and specially trained nurses, therapists and technicians committed to providing seamless, coordinated care and getting you back to your favorite activities as soon as possible.
Our approach includes:
- A dedicated unit for joint replacement patients
- All private suites
- Group education, exercise and meals to encourage sense of community and support
- Casual clothes - patients wear their own clothes during their stay
- Family and friends participating as coaches in the recovery process
- An informative pre-op class for patients and their family
- Surgeries scheduled so that patients do not have to stay in the hospital over the weekend
