Total Joint Experience

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. We believe an educated patient will recover quicker and get back to normal life activities. So, we're now holding patient education sessions the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, 11 a.m. to noon, in the second floor conference room at the hospital. Class includes lunch and there are several reserved parking spaces for participants.
