Surgical Excellence with Cutting-Edge Resources

Your daily practice at Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital will center around delivering exceptional orthopedic care in a setting optimized for total joint procedures. Unlike many orthopedic positions where surgeons must adapt to inadequate facilities or outdated equipment, you'll perform surgeries in a state-of-the-art environment specifically designed for joint replacement excellence.

The balance of your clinical work—60% outpatient evaluation and 40% surgical intervention—creates an ideal rhythm that allows you to develop meaningful patient relationships while maintaining a robust surgical practice focused primarily on knee (65%) and hip (35%) replacements.

Each day in clinic, you'll typically see approximately 25 patients, evaluating new cases and following post-operative progress in a well-organized clinical flow. Your surgical days will feature 8-12 weekly procedures, a volume that allows for thorough preparation and personalized care without the rushed pace common in production-oriented practices.

This carefully structured approach ensures both quality outcomes and professional satisfaction while preventing the burnout that affects so many orthopedic surgeons.

• Direct access to advanced MAKO robotic technology in both hospital and outpatient surgery center settings, enhancing precision and potentially improving outcomes
• Minimal revision cases, allowing you to focus on primary joint replacements that typically involve more predictable procedures and recovery courses
• Clear call expectations with a 1:4 rotation covering both practice patients and non-trauma emergency department consultations
• Patient population primarily composed of active seniors and adults seeking to maintain or restore mobility and quality of life
• Established clinical protocols within the certified Joint Replacement Center that streamline care delivery while maintaining excellence
• Dedicated orthopedic staff experienced in total joint replacement care, enhancing efficiency and patient experience
• Early opportunity to develop a signature approach within the practice's established framework as the program continues its rapid growth
• Full access to diagnostic imaging, therapy services, and other ancillaries that support comprehensive orthopedic care

Technological Advantage in a Supportive Environment

The integration of MAKO robotic technology represents a significant advantage for your surgical practice at St. Joseph's Hospital. This advanced platform allows for precise preoperative planning and enhanced intraoperative control, potentially leading to better outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Few orthopedic practices offer this level of technological support, particularly in both hospital and outpatient settings, reflecting the institution's commitment to orthopedic excellence and innovation.

Beyond the technology itself, you'll benefit from practicing within a certified Joint Replacement Center with established protocols and pathways. This structured approach enhances efficiency and consistency while still allowing for your individual surgical preferences and decision-making.

The combination of technological advancement and programmatic support creates an environment where you can focus on surgical excellence rather than administrative challenges or resource limitations.
