Our expert doctors, nurses, and other professionals thank you for considering Dosher Memorial Hospital for your hip, knee, or shoulder replacement.

Our goal is to prepare you for this experience and help you set expectations for a speedy recovery. We strive to make your experience as pleasant as possible.
